The Geranium.

The geranium expresses preference. The idea has not, so far as known, any foundation in history or legend. It is said that Henry VIII first showed marked preference for Anne Boleyn by giving her a bunch of red flowera Some persons have supposed these flowers to be geraniums, but the plant was little, if at all, known in England at that time.
