This may be a stupid question, but I don't know so I'll ask. When I log in, under my name it says "Flowers 123". What is this? Can I do something with the flowers?

Thanks to anyone who answers

coreyritajo, Yes, you CAN do something with the flowers.....stop and smell them! We don't know what they are for as ruthie says, but we are loving having them! Maybe they are just to remind us to be kind to one another, or slow down and enjoy, but whatever the final tally or use is, we are happy you have joined us in receiving/giving flowers and I hope you have a happy, happy day!

As you can see Ruthie did a wonderful job explaining your question.See you have at least 129 flowers so here comes another one your way. You are going to need a bigger vase soon to hold them all.

Here a flower for you - now you have 128! And any time that you see a orange flower by someone's name - you can also give them a flower - enjoy the fun of giving, too!

And as you can see 3 friends have giving you a flower, so your number is now up to 126. Hope to see your Q&As and some of your projects.

Coreyritajo, it isn’t a stupid question, but it would be silly of you not to ask when you want to know! Only the site owner knows the true purpose of the flowers, but what we do know is that when we sign-in we receive one per day (regardless of how many times we sign-in during the day) from *Cute*. Now, you possibly noticed underneath your avatar on these pages there are two numbers, the first is for the number of questions that you have answered, the other number is your total flowers (same number that you see when you sign-in), in your case you have answered *0* questions and have *123* flowers (you have visited the site 123 days). 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 orange flower to the right of your name, then it turned grey to show I had given you a flower. You can only give 1 flower per question/answer, and you can’t give yourself flowers. On the right of these pages you will see a list of names with numbers next to them, these are the people who have answered the most questions (or as in my case can talk the most! LOL), the first number next to their name is their total flowers, the second number shows how many flowers they have been given on these pages (the second number has been added to the first number). Hope this helps and that I haven’t confused you with all the info – but you did ask, haha, well, not for that much info I guess, I did say I could talk!!! Welcome to the Q&A pages, hope you enjoy it here, and come back soon.

There is more info in previous questions if you want to spend some time browsing, makes interesting reading.

I want to thank everyone for their sweetness. Especially Ruthie for taking the time to answer my question. Sorry it took me this long to respond, I've been away from my computer all day.

Thanks for the info. I have also been wondering just what the flowers meant. I can always use more information.I am rather new to this. I have a stitch addition. I got my machine or Mothers Day last ear and I have not done too much else with my life since. LOL
