While writing Don’t Touch My Petunia, book #2 in The Holloway Girls series, I learned a lot about plants and flowers because the main character Juliette Holloway has garden magic.  I was surprised to learn that there are so many types of flowers that symbolize different aspects of love! Here are some of my favorites:

1.Red Tulips:  These flowers represent undying love and the idea that love is limitless.  

2. Blue Violets:  They are the symbol of trustworthiness, which I believe is a cornerstone for true love.

3. Jasmine: These richly scented white flowers symbolize sensuality, grace, and love.  I have these all along my garden fence and they smell divine!

4. Forget-Me-Nots: I like these because they represent true love and, of course, the hope that one’s love will not be forgotten.

5. Orchids: Of all flowers, these are my absolute favorite.  They come in so many different colors and they symbolize powerful romantic desire.  They are also the longest blooming flower in the world. Love!

DON'T TOUCH MY PETUNIA by Tara Sheets

The Holloway Girls #2
Don't Touch My 
Petunia
Pine Cove Island is the kind of enchanting place where anything is possible . . .

The Holloway women each have a special gift, passed down through generations, each one a little different. Juliette possesses a magical green thumb, which makes her job managing the local florist shop a dream. She may be a bit wild, but she knows what she wants: to save enough money to buy the shop from her boss. Then in marches Logan O’Connor, more annoyingly handsome than ever, turning all her plans upside down.

Logan hasn’t been back on Pine Cove Island since he was eighteen and broke Juliette’s teenage heart. Now it turns out he’s her boss’s nephew—and will be spending his days remodeling the shop and barking orders. At her.

For the sake of the business, Juliette will have to ignore their simmering attraction and work with Logan. But that doesn’t mean she has to make things easy for him. Because no one knows better than she that one tiny, perfectly planted bit of garden magic could uproot Logan’s own plans and keep him out of her way. And nothing would make her happier. At least that’s what she thinks . . .

Re: Tara Sheets | Top 5 Flowers That Symbolize Love

Second chance romances have me rooting for the underdog and
I like seeing how the romance turns out. My mom had
Japanese Emperor Tulips which were showy red ones with huge
blossoms and they grew easily and stayed closer to the
ground. We passed them on the way to the back door.
