The Language of Flowers

Lady Jane
1966

Rolling Stones

'Just heed this plea my love
On bended knees my love
I pledge myself to Lady Jane'



A small old book, a special find given to me by a special friend. First published in England in 1968. Hand written and illustrated by 'Father' for 'Mother'.
The first page inscription goes:
"To Mother, Wishing you many happy returns of the day, from Father August 8, 1913"
"There is a language , little known,
Lovers claim it as their own.
It's symbols smile upon the land, Wrought by Natures wondrous hand;
And in their silent beauty speak,
Of life and joy to those who seek
For Love Divine and sunny hours
In the language of the flowers. FWH"

Agree with Chris, a great song, but no idea for an image too. This one fits perfectly. v

One of my favorite from the Stones and your image is just reflecting the mood in the song! V.

I couldn't come up with any ideas for this song - I like your representation very much.
