Kristini, sorry I didn't see your reply (thought I'd gotten them all)
before I posted my huffy "hello! Poppy, Lavender, Pansy!" post.  I
knew there were some I had logged in the past and then
forgotten--Myrtle and Fleur were the ones.  Didn't know about Parvati
and Padma's first names (last sounds like "Petal").  But the poster
who started this thread did show pretty conclusively that all those
Black sister names were flowers, whatever else they are.

An ironic note on Myrtle--it's the plant associated with Venus.

cheers
Ratty
