+mousekakat Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 It's true! I forgot someone's b-day and I shouldn't have, I feel so bad! SO, to make up for it, I'm going to throw a little cointest in her honor! SO, without further ado, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SOLAN!!! Hope it was a great one! I'll give a coin from my collection to the first person who can tell me what Solan's favorite flower and the color she likes them is! 1 guess every 10 minutes, and if you don't know what the flower is called in English, you can post a picture of it along with the name that you know it as! Ready? SET!! GO!!!!!!! Quote

+mousekakat Posted June 10, 2008 Author Posted June 10, 2008 Some great guesses here, just remember the every 10 minute rule I think it's cool that some of you are looking up the flowers we have here in Sweden, especially the twinflower, since it bears Linnea's name and he is buried here in one of the biggest, most beautiful cathedrals we have, located in Uppsala!
