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

Theleftovermonster - missed you had Juniper already! Very beautiful.

Calla

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

TheLeftovermonster · 22/11/2013 07:12

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.

CarryOnDancing · 21/11/2013 21:17

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

Shoutymomma · 21/11/2013 21:11

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

blushingm · 21/11/2013 20:18

Bracken?

Rowan

Frikadellen · 21/11/2013 19:49

Tansy I just love it

Jbck · 21/11/2013 19:46

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!

curiousgeorgie · 21/11/2013 19:43

Love Aster. Beautiful!

TheWoollybacksWife · 21/11/2013 19:40

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

Sundaedelight · 21/11/2013 19:35

Tulip

telsa · 21/11/2013 09:11

Snowdrop, Crocus, Hellebore, Camellia, Chionodoxa!

lastboxoftampons · 21/11/2013 01:50

Jacinda is Spanish for Hyacinth

ancientbuchanan · 20/11/2013 23:29

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.
