Happy Valentines Day! Today we see the return of Valentines Equids, featuring the ever lovely pink coloration in their manes! That special mane marking cannot be passed down onto any foals thought, so please be aware!

Regardless of how you celebrate today, or perhaps choose not to, I think it's always nice to make a gift of flowers. To enter for this guy, I would like y'all to write out what he would put in a bouquet that he would give to someone he cares about! It can be to a friend, a family member or a loved one. The twist is that I would like you to use symbolism, meanings and the language of flowers to create your bouquet! What kind of message is he trying to send through flowers?
