*takes a deep breath*
I'm going to set this thread up to discuss the possibilities of the flowers (and leaves) being shown in the cards.

As I find books and websites that seem helpful, I will add them here:

http://www.main.nc.us/naturenotebook/plantcolorindex.html

Field guides appear to divide into geographical areas. Maybe a few different members could visit their respective libraries?

oooo, that wedding site is great, actually! it has many different flowers and their meanings. will have to research- i really want to help on this!!! at least if you search on the internet, you won't have to deal with "regional" books, since the internet will have flowers from all over the world. i don't think the artist of this deck would've put many obscure varieties on the cards, at least hopefully!

I plan to look at flower symbolism as well as the color symbolism.

Does anyone else have some interesting tables for correspondences, etc?
