Thread creep.... the faithful violet was the flower given to the French troops on Napoleons' return from exile to fight at Waterloo. Ivy is also for faithfulness. Flowers are not just for lovers.

The rose of true love is the yellow rose, red is more the physical side, as above. White roses are for fidelity.
