April Showers Bring May Flowers!
First off, I would like to give a great big round of congratulations to our dear player Ash regarding her wedding over the weekend. ♥

Secondly, Beltane is upon you, godlings! And that means more Weird Stuff Happening. Fear not, it's nothing especially sinister this time. On May 1st, everyone will be receiving an anonymous bouquet delivered to their doorstep. Or, whichever doorstep they happen to be visiting at the time. Each bouquet will be marked saying who it's for, but nothing to indicate who sent it. Here is the list of who gets what:

ACHILLES - nasturtium, palm leaves, gladiolus, bay wreath

APHRODITE - camellia, calla lily, orchid, fennel

APOLLO - daffodil, hyacinth, heliotrope

As you can probably guess, these aren't just any ordinary bouquets. They're actually messages to the godlings. So what do they mean? Sorry--THAT you'll have to figure out yourselves. Feel free to bug Persephone ICly about it. ^_^

But, I'm not going to leave you completely high and dry. Here are a few sites to look through to give you some ideas:
