this is how our ruthie answered this question....... 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 – but you did ask, haha, well, maybe not for that much info I guess!!! Good to have you here sweetie, love, hugs and flowers for you and welcome to the best site on the net.<br /><br />1 images:<br />[1]

lynn123rose, WELCOME to the CUTE family - raels has used Ruthie's great answer - so I will just give you a *!

Welcome dear Lynn, I have only been on this site for about 3 weeks and already it feels like a family. The women and men on this site are the best most caring and sharing people in the world. They answer all of your questions and help out most when needed. It has been great too to find like-minded people who share the same passion as we do. I have "spoken" to and written to some wonderful people who live in Sydney too. So a big warm welcome to you fellow Aussie. Love from Chris in Newcastle.
