Guest guest Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 Hi, I was hoping Ann (or anyone else) would be able to tell me what the national flower is in Scotland. Ylva uses the oil from it and didn't know the translation. Help??

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 The national flower of Scotland is the thistle. It is also the Scottish emblem and the Scottish motto - roughly translated from Latin - is " no-one touches me and gets away with it " - think treading on a thistle!! - (A prickly bunch However, there are two other flowers that are associated with Scotland - heather and harebell (a tiny dainty bluebell type of plant). I'm not aware of any oil that comes from the thistle. Heather would be the next flower most identified with Scotland and I've heard of a Heather fragrance oil but not anything else. Excuse my ignorance - what is Ylva? Regards Ann Hi, I was hoping Ann (or anyone else) would be able to tell me what the national flower is in Scotland.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 I think I have to go and look up the latin name on the bottle, so all can be clear whatever oil I mean :-D But - it's very good for mature skin, I sure need it LOL.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 Thank you Ann for the information. >Excuse my ignorance - what is Ylva? Sorry about that. I just assumed you would have recognized her name from posting on the list. I should have said my friend Ylva (in Sweden)uses the oil. Oops.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 I've just remembered - Aromantic's mother company is Swedish, so there is a connection there.
