Criteria for determining accurate, authentic flower sentiments: 1) Identify the primary sentiment for each flower and often a flower color through at least three resources, using classic period references in combination with the best modern references and 2) Add a second or third sentiment only if it enhances the primary sentiment.
During the formation of the classic vocabulary, over two hundred years ago, many flowers and plants had not yet been identified; therefore, when there are significant modern flower resources, modern vocabulary interpretations are added, marked by an (*): ex. Poinsettia - �Be of Good Cheer�.
