    Author Notes:

    The lavender coloured rose represented “Love at First Sight” and that was why she had made that particular selection.

     

    Across the city, at the same time, Bette was sitting in her office at CU wondering if her “delivery” had been received.  The contents of the box had been very simple…a dozen lavender coloured Tulips.  She wondered if Tina would understand the message.  Just to be sure, she had written a special note, identifying the significance of her choice of flower, so there was no doubt in Tina’s mind what they represented.

     

    Early on in their relationship, Bette often times sent Tina flowers, or gave them to her when picking her up for a date, knowing that her girlfriend loved to receive them.  Over the years, Bette had very carefully made her flower selections, based on the message she wished to convey at that time.  After they had moved into the house, Tina had set up the garden in the back yard, and sometimes, Bette would put together a selection from the garden and deliver them personally, just so she could see the smile on Tina’s face when she received them.

     

    Tina loved her garden, and it had been very touching to have Bette make those selections, “just because”.  As the years of their relationship went by, Bette did these little things less and less.  When she and Tina had reconciled this last time, she promised herself that Tina would be her priority, and that she would go back to doing the little things that Tina loved….the things that said “just because”.

     

    When Bette had stopped at the florist that morning, she had taken some time to make her selection.  Her original thought had been to send roses.  Bette had thought of the very first time she had sent roses to Tina.  They had only been dating for a few weeks, but Bette Porter had found herself falling for the intriguing Tina Kennard.  For the first time in her life, Bette was in love.  The lavender coloured rose represented “Love at First Sight” and that was why she had made that particular selection.  That day she had sent a dozen lavender coloured roses. 

     

    The very first time that Bette had laid eyes on Tina that special night so long ago in her gallery, she was captivated by the young blonde woman.  There was something about her that Bette could not initially identify.  After dating her for a few weeks, she had found herself falling in love.  It was then that she had sent the “roses” along with the following note:

     

    Tina,

     

    I just wanted to let you know that I was thinking of you this morning.  I selected this particular flower and colour as it represents what I have recently come to recognize as my true feelings for you. 

     

    Roses are one of the most beautiful and delicate of all flowers.  Often, a sender will use them to symbolize “love”.  The Lavender coloured Rose represents “love at first sight”, and I made this choice, as I have now recognized that is what I felt the night we met in my gallery. 

     

    I have struggled to find the words to describe that truly special and unique feeling that I felt that night.  Now that I have identified it, I wish to convey to you my feelings.

     

    I hope you like my selection,

     

    B.

     

    As Bette reflected on that day, so many years ago, she started to feel nervous about the message of the selection she had made that morning…..would it convey to Tina just how she felt about their renewed relationship?

    1. Hello Tazgolf74, that was just beautiful way to start this story… flowers are such a powerful item to represent so many things and well Tulips are a powerful flower without actually meaning to be… I love how you interweave the past and present… and I love the secretive nature Tina choose to set when confronted by the flowers… a lot of hidden messages… I loved your previous story and cannot wait to see what grows and blossoms out of your creative soul… Sincerely, JC (“The tulip’s petals shine in dew, All beautiful, but none alike.” – James Montgomery, On Planting a Tulip-Root)

    5. YAY!!! I knew you said you MIGHT get something together, but damn you made good on it too! This was awesome! I love the symbolism of flowers, and usually am very careful when I select the ones for my wife or someone dear to me. Now, you have to tell us just what is in store with the message on the card. Come on now…you know you have to post daily don’t you? LOL!!!! Thanks for the last email, it made me laugh my arse off. * hugs *

    6. I guess that’s where the saying…”say it with flowers” comes from. There is a flower for a multitude of feelings. Can’t wait to find out what a lavender tulip signifies. This is a great story Taz!

    7. WOW!! I can’t wait to see where this goes. I really like that Tina is sitting there wondering what she might have missed. LOL Anyway, post soon. I look forward to reading more.
