Of course, there are many more plants that could be used and there are more meanings of all the plants but perhaps this list suggests some possibilities. The best book I found on the subject is Tussie-Mussies: The Language of Flowers by Geraldine Adamich Laufer Workman Publishing Company, 2000. I borrowed it from the public library but you can buy a used copy from Amazon for less than a dollar.
