So, I was searching for what an African violet means and I found 
this information.  I thought it was interesting and so I decided to 
share it.  (All information taken from: 
http://www.growerdirect.com/flowertriva.htm)

Lily means, among other things purity.  The site also says 
"Throughout the ages, the lily has stood for purity and 
sweetness, modesty, whiteness and fragility. Various species 
are widely referenced in Greek mythology."

Poppy means Consolation.

Narcissa means Egotism and Formality.

Petunia means "I Am Furious!" (I like that one).

It's almost eerie how accurate some of these meanings are.  
Just thought I'd share.
