note and question

So far, I haven't really given away any of the meanings to the flowers referenced in the stories. I have a huge list I keep in my story-binder, compliments of In the Garden: The Language of Flowers, which I'm constantly flipping through whenever I need an idea, or want some specific thing in one of the gardens. In some cases, it works out quite naturally, to give the meaning of the flower in the story itself, but other times it feels quite forced, and in those cases, I've left it out.

My question then, is, would you like a cheat-sheet? I've gone back and forth on this quite a bit, whether to have a short list of flowers and meanings I use, like an appendix, for anyone interested, posted wherever I post the stories, or just leave it to the reader to guess from the context and maybe delve into it on their own? Personally, I tend to enjoy appendices giving more detailed information from an author on certain aspects of the story. Or, if I find the information boring, I just ignore it, I don't feel obligated to pay attention. But I'd like to get some outside opinion on that.

That being said, it appears I'm doing at least two, if not more, stories that grew out of the meaning for fuchsias, so that one at least I think I should tell you.

Fuchsia: the ambition of my love thus plagues itself.
