Good question, kijala! I don't know either! hehehe :) I give flowers to everyone and receive them as well, but I'm ignorant in this matter....

I don't think they mean a lot but recognition for responding to others comments and their beautiful designs that they donate to us. Just something nice to do.

See I just gave you a flower to say hello and have a nice day.

just a way of saying hello-nice work-I read your comment-this is where I left off-that kind of thing-but some folks make it seem like it of grave importance to have the most flowers-like a popularity thing-it's not though. I give you a flower Kirsten-just because =O) ~linda~

I look on it as a happy thing. We all enjoy seeing our gardens grow. A *4U. Sarah.
