Couple language of flowers wallpapers. Initially I intended it to be a longer series (“Five flowers Spike never gave to Buffy” or something) but it’s highly unlikely that I will have time to finish it this May.
Daffodil (Narcissus) – While the daffodil’s primary symbolism is that of new beginnings, rebirth and the coming of spring, it has many others. Some of the most common meanings for the daffodil flower are: Regard, Respect, Sunshine, Unrequited Love, The sun shines when I’m with you. (Ironically, the last three would mean pretty much the same thing for Spike.)

Viscaria (Sticky Catchfly) – In the language of flowers, the Viscaria flower literally means “Will you dance with me?” and used to be given to women as an invitation to dance. This is a catchfly flower that blooms in beautiful shades of purple and gets its name from the sticky nature of its stems, which attract insects. Hence, it became a symbol of flirting and attraction. It was particularly popular with the Victorians, who would use flowers to say certain things that could not be uttered verbally in polite society.
