Prompt List #11 - The Language Of Plants (1/?)

Prompt List #11 - The Language of Plants (1/?)

All Prompt Lists

So I have a language of flowers/plants book and I wanted to write some stories with them myself, but I figured they’d make good prompts for people in general or a good reference list. 

This is only a small section of the book, so there will probably be more prompt lists in future on this theme. Some of these will be easier to write with/use than others.

Feel free to use 1 meaning or multiple meanings to create a story or drawing etc.

 Feel free to tag me in it as well as with all my prompt lists.
