While writing Donโt 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. ย 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:
ย These flowers represent undying love and the idea that love is limitless. ย
2. Blue Violets: ย 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. ย 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
oneโs love will not be forgotten.
5. Orchids: Of all flowers, these are my absolute favorite. ย They come in so many different
colors and they symbolize powerful romantic desire. ย They are also the longest blooming
flower in the world. Love!
The Holloway Girls #2
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 OโConnor,
more annoyingly handsome than ever, turning all her plans
upside down.
Logan hasnโt been back on Pine Cove Island since he was
eighteen and broke Julietteโs teenage heart. Now it turns
out heโs her bossโs nephewโand 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
doesnโt 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 Loganโs own plans and keep
him out of her way. And nothing would make her happier. At
least thatโs what she thinks . . .
