DeadPoet SG No special meaning lah. I like to associate Buddhism with flowers, i.e. colourful, beautiful, peace, and love. But it is hard to please every one right?
choco B SG It's about never being satisfied, never being content You're given A; you want B You're given B; you want A again
viciouskitty74 SG K.....moral of the story. Give edible flowers. Geeezzzz.....vegetarians advice needed. What is acceptable flowers to eat, besides ginger flower?
path_seeker SG All flowers are edible by vegetarians, cos it's not part of the 5 pungent vegetables identified by Mahayana tradition.
