You are an Iris:
You are logical, analytical, dignified, and wise.
You are studious by nature and may prefer
books to people. You tend to be a serious
person but are capable of making others laugh
with your dry sense of humor. Friends always
benefit from your advice.
Symbolism: Over the centuries the iris has come to
symbolize faith, wisdom, hope, and promise in
love.

Well, alright, then. I knew I wouldn’t be a Carnation like Julie, but I like Carnations (they always remind me of my First Communion Bouquet) and I can never have enough pink roses…an Iris?

You are a Carnation:
You are friendly, energetic, cheerful, and bubbly. You love being around people. Outgoing and talkative, you rarely meet a stranger. Others feel at ease around you because of your playful nature.
Symbolism: In Victorian times carnations were given to show fascination with another. They also symbolize friendship and whimsicalness.

[...] I’ve gone to The Anchoress’ site, read everything new she has and took a quiz (I’m a carnation), went to Musing Minds and read everything new there, along with reading everything new on the other blogs listed on my blog roll. [...]

Aww, man- I’m a Rose. I have animal magnetism (hey, I’m a FARMER!!) and i like- you know- to get personal.

I don’t want to be a rose, though. I want to be an Iris- the flower of hope. I’ve always love the wild Irises. My husband just asked me why I don’t want to be a rose- because I’m a thorn?

Oh, I’m a Lily!
Wow, I LIKE that!

Iris - even after changing 3 answers about which I was on the fence…

I’m an Iris, too.

I’m a lily who wants to be a red tulip.

I am a Lily.

An Iris, and wholly unsurprised given the questions asked. I must admit, however, that I am surprised that the flower associated with knowledge is also associated with hope. When’s the last time you met a hopeful academic?
March 8th, 2006 at 12:08 pm
An Iris, too. I see roughly a third of quiz-takers get this result…

I’m a Rose…

You had a bouquet for your First Communion? We weren’t allowed to carry anything!
March 8th, 2006 at 3:22 pm
I LOVED my First Communion bouquet! But no, we weren’t permitted to carry it. All of our mothers held them for us and we got them back after mass. The flowers were just for the pictures. I loved, loved, loved mine, though.

I used to give my mother an Iris each Mother’s Day. I have always loved thier look, their dignity. So, congratulations, Iris!
March 8th, 2006 at 10:21 pm
And I just earned a spot as an Iris. LOL
Not surprised that Siggy is crabgrass. Not at all! Heheheee!

I was an IRIS, but I get the impression this one wasn’t for guys..
