Mmm sounds yum. I guess if I DID get to use plumerias for the wedding, it'd be for a bouquet and petals scattered around. So I guess it just has to last the day. But that'd be pretty, huh?

Oh yes - really pretty Ari. They are lovely flowers.

Thanks Rigel btw what are "Gannets"?

Sorry Beth but this is the translation( to offer me the dictionnary) of the flowers, in spanish is " Alcatraz", can you understand me?

Oh I see - I did a bit of a search and it seems that Alcatraz does translate to Gannet. In fact it usually means Pelican in the US. But for some reason it was also the name given to Lily flowers - my little Lily will be so pleased you like those flowers - I might have a picture of a lily for you - hold on......

There are lots of different kinds of lilies - but most share the same kind of flower structure

awww Lacey thanks. I LOVE having flowers around the house. They make great subjects - 'cos they don't keep dashing off or trying to sniff the camera

Oh I love Stargazer lilies!

Here are some Plumeria flowers... I love them!

Oh beautiful flowers!

Oh yeah Ari - sooo beautiful. They make beautiful wreaths for your hair from plumerias on Hawaii - the girls with dark hair look so beautiful with these flowers in their hair and the fragrance is just out of this world.

Thank you for the pink rose
There was this other flower i saw that was pink and peachy but i have no idea what its called so i cant even look it up on google! lol

I can't wait to visit Sicily Fwan - it's on the list of places we want to go to!

If you find a picture of your flower - post it in this thread, I'd love to see it

hehe i sure will!
Ohh you have to go to Alcamo, thats were we have our beach house.
Its got the best food ever! The east side of sicily isnt so nice (from my experience) but sicily has so much stuff to see (if you really like history)
Oh yes and i dont reccomend you eating at mc donalds there eww..
You have to eat all the yummy pastries in the bar, bar is a cafe there ohh and the lovely cakes!
Now im so hungry.
My parents are going there in march because they are selling the beach house but they promised to bring me stuff from there to eat because im picking them up from the airport

Ooh yes - I love Italy and Italian food and can't wait til we go to Sicily. We've done some research already and so looking forward to seeing the historical sites - particularly the temples on the South coast and the beautiful countryside of course.

We are waiting until our daughter is holidaying alone - so that just hubby and me can go.
