Wintery flower names in particular.

I know a Pansy (she is now about 50 and the only Pansy I have ever met.) She is very beautiful inside and out.

Has anyone said Rowan?
I quite like iris or ivy?

Cedar, Fern.

I like Juniper (but didn't get to use it).

Some beautiful names here - I can't add to it, but love this thread.

Laurel is my favourite.
Also Dahlia, Posy and Tulip?

Bracken is a bit border collie, isn't it? Juniper is delightful.

I was going to suggest Snowdrop but the welsh name up above for it is lovely.

AuntieStella · 21/11/2013 19:46

Careful with Amaryllis (Milton: "To sport with Amaryllis in the shade")

AuntieStella · 21/11/2013 19:45

Narcissa? Cynthia?

Poinsettia!

Jonquil - it's a type of daffodil I think -and will earn you a mighty fine score in Scrabble-- Grin

Sundaedelight · 21/11/2013 19:35

Tulip

telsa · 21/11/2013 09:11

Snowdrop, Crocus, Hellebore, Camellia, Chionodoxa!

Jacinda is Spanish for Hyacinth

I was going to suggest Prunella, for the winter flowering prunus, but if you can't have p, that's a problem.

Solstice? Falls on 21 Dec. Never heard anyone use it but could be nice.

Natalie isn't too Christian, or Nicola for Santa Claus.
