Continuing to be incredibly late to the party, we move on to

Prompt 3: Bluebell
In the language of flowers, the bluebell is a symbol of humility, constancy, gratitude and everlasting love. It is said that if you turn a bluebell flower inside-out without tearing it, you will win the one you love, and if you wear a wreath of bluebells, you will only be able to speak the truth.

Bonus Prompt: Lavendar Rose

Please feel free to respond in whichever way comes naturally to you, be it thoughts that you share or a work that you create. Please feel free to respond in whichever way comes naturally to you, be it thoughts that you share or a work that you create. If you’d like a more specific idea to kick things off: share a novel or podfic that reminds you of the Bluebell theme.

The first thing that came to mind for me was the Rabbit from Watership Down, but that always makes me far too sad so I'm trying not to think about that.

And I want to keep to the theme of sharing music that the prompts remind me of, and there was something about 'everlasting love', that made me think about happy endings and although the song isn't very... 'everlasting love', the lyrics talk about something that was supposed to be:

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
The song is My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne

I am incredibly late to the party, since this challenge started at the beginning of July. However, the post says that there's no official deadline and that people can feel free to join in at any time. So this is me, joining in in August!

Prompt 1: Iris
They can represent faith, hope, courage, wisdom and admiration. Specific flower colors attach further meanings to the pretty blooms. Purple iris brings a message of wisdom and compliments, while a bouquet of blue iris blossoms speak of hope and faith.

Bonus Prompt: Pink Rose

Please feel free to respond in whichever way comes naturally to you, be it thoughts that you share or a work that you create. If you’d like a more specific idea to kick things off: share a poem or drabble that reminds you of the Iris theme.

The first thing that came to mine when reading the prompt - I got as far as 'faith' - is a line from the Green Day song Holiday which goes 'Hear the dogs howling out of key, To a hymn called "Faith and Misery"' and so for my first response to this challenge, I shall share with you the music video to the song


I have been a fan of Green Day since I was 14, when American Idiot came out. I fell completely in love with the album, went back and listened to their older stuff and completely fell in love. But I do think that American Idiot is still my favourite album. Although I'm not a fan of the musical that was made from it

Also, Billie Joe Armstrong is very easy on the eyes! I don't even care that he's technically old enough to be my dad... Georgia is 13 years older than me so I have no problem with age-gap relationships, in fact they're a bit of a turn on!
