*Starts putting vases full of yellow crocuses around the room*

There is a reason for those flowers being associated with St. Valentine, I just can't recall what the legend is...

Cheese.

Let's celebrate with various forms of caffiene shall we?

So, interesting stuff about the Yellow Crocus:


CROCUS, SAFFRON

Greek: Krokos
Species: Crocus sativus
Description: A late-summer and autumn blooming perennial whose yellow stigmas are the source of saffron, a food spice and expensive yellow dye.
Sacred to: Hermes

Mythology: Metamorphosis Krokos A boy loved by the god Hermes. After his accidental death the god transformed him into the saffron flower. Its red stems were desribed as his spilt blood. According to others Krokos was metamorphosed into the flower following the death of his love, the Nymph Smilax. (Source: Ovid, Pliny, et al)

Mythology: Bouquet of Persephone The goddess Persephone and her companion Nymphs were gathering rose, crocus, violet, iris and larkspur blooms in a springtime meadow when she was abducted by the god Haides. (Source: Homeric Hymns)

Here's an interesting link about yellow, or saffron crocuses.

Dammit! Remind me not to drink Bordeaux in the VIP lounge in here; red wine's a bitch to get outta white carpet. *finishes remnants of wine, warily steers clear of Shah's playful feet.* One burned, twice shy. You're in a chipper mood this evening, Shah!

Gosh! What an awful day full of distracting balloons, arguments, unjust accusations (toward me, as though I did something wrong), and I was ignored all day. In fact, best of all, the damn bus ignored me.
Which prompted me to make a new thread that I'm sure will be a big hit.
Take that, world! *punches ground and shakes hurt hand*
