Flowers

One of the many pointless skills drilled into Tyson’s head by countless tutors was the Victorian language of the flowers.

Even when Tyson know with certainty that the recipient won’t know the meaning and won’t care to look it up, Tyson will take the time to match the flowers he sends to an appropriate message.

He doesn’t like letting knowledge go to waste. Even if the recipient doesn’t know the message, Tyson will and that is what matters to him. Whenever possible Tyson will also mix in whatever the person’s favourite flower is, regardless of meaning or offsetting its meaning with another flower.

His favourite flower is the Cosmos atrosanguineus. He tends to put on in the lapel of his suit whenever possible. When gifted to a loved one the chocolate scented flower means, ‘I love you more than anybody can’. Perhaps more suited to The Colonel’s possessive view of love than Tyson’s ‘I can - and do - love multiple people equally’ approach.
