Maria, I am not the one to answer this for you - so I will quote one of the others - that seem to have more of a handle on answering this question than some - Ruthie says: "you asked for this sweetie, and I love giving this answer, haha!!! The flowers mean that this is the *Cutest* and sweetest-smelling site on the net! They were started by *Cute* as some sort of testing, and we've taken the flower giving to a new height by sharing them with all our friends here for whatever reason, or no reason at all, that we can think of. The names on the right of the question page are just members the same as everyone else, but, in jrob's case, she's been here the longest, my name's there because I can talk more than anyone else, and I suspect most of the others are there for the same reason too, haha. The number on the far right of our avatar is the number of flowers that the beautiful people here have given to us. The left-hand number is the total of all our flowers. Also, when we sign-in to *Cute* we receive one per day (regardless of how many times we sign-in during the day) from *Cute*. We can all receive flowers from others here for asking/answering questions, and we can all give flowers for the same reason, or just to say hello, I care, thank you, in other words just about for any reason, in fact I’ve just given you one. I just clicked on the green flower to the right of your name, then it turned orange and said thanks to show I had given you a flower. You can only give 1 flower per question/answer per person, and you can’t give yourself flowers. Hope this helps and that I haven’t confused you with all the info." *4U
I believe the left number is the total of all flowers, that would be log on flowers and all types of participation on the site. The right number is included in the left number. Jrob may have a more specific answer for you. I believe she is the longest time member at this point.
The left amount of flowers are all flowers you have got and the right amount of flowers, the lower one is the sum of flowers you have got for your own answers and questions, in the top contributor all in all topics in the other lists in the flowers in this topic for instnat voting request.
I think that's it..
I wonder if that's so. for my own flowers the right number is growing daily, but the left is a lower number isfor me on 250* for a very long time now.And all that time I had questions and answers.but the number stays the same.so I don't know how that counts?
Let's go back to the top and see if someone can answer this question. Thanks for asking!
very good question. if you see at projects there are also flowers at your name. but also two numbers, I the right number I know,you can get flowers if people give them to you(so here's one for you)but the left number is also a question for me.
