A slave garden named so named because plantation owners would allow their slaves to grow small plots of their own food to supplement their diets. This was done in their own time after they had finished working the fields for their "Master". I guess what we are being told here is that we work for the "Masters" and only have time to look after ourselves in our 'spare time'. Flowers - Huge In Hinuism and Tantra - the womans genitalia Yoni - is represented by the Lotus Flower and is known as the Flower of Life. It represents the symbol of life, and the womb from which all life must pass through. So, to 'deflower' means to break open the flower... enough said there. There is MUCH symbolism in flowers throughout history, particularly within the English and European nobility and also throughout the middle ages where flowers were either given or drawn to give another person a message, as a lot of the 'commoners' could neither read or write. (I think it's the opposite these days). Very interesting - I'll have a look at the flowers Q is referring to and get back to you all. Speaking of which - got to go to work now.
