We had a large newly created yard and I have a love of flowers so I naturally desired a flower garden. The problem was that the fill that was trucked in to create this yard was all chunks of blacktop and concrete with a light sprinkling of top soil to cover the chunks. There was no digging into the dirt without hitting something solid. We couldn’t even drive in a tent stake.

The town workers were scraping the sides of the roads after a long winter of sanding icy and snowy roads. They had two loads of roadside dirt they wanted to dump that looked like pretty good dirt so I let them dump it in a pile in the back of the yard.

The names of all flowers mean something special. Names of flowers usually don’t happen by accident—though there might be a funny story behind some different types of flowers—but different kinds of flowers mean different things. Here are meanings behind of some of those names of flowers.
Roses
This perennial comes in over 100 species of flowers. The symbol of the rose has impressed the hearts of humanity for millennia. The Latin word rosa gives the basis for the current name; however, this name passed through Oscan, colonial Greek, Aeolic, Aramaic, Assyrian, and Old Iranian before becoming rosa. Chronologically, the word began as war, then ward, warda, vard, wurtinnu, wurrda, wrodon, rhodon, and, finally, rosa. When Juliet asks, “What’s in a name?”, she’s right in one sense: “rose” has always signified only the flower and nothing else. However, the name “rose” has taken some work to reach our day.
