This all seems much ado about next to nothing.........but I don't see the necessity in limiting our choice to flora not already used by other clans. Being kilted, being different, we seek tolerence and acceptance, one would not go courting with a handful of weeds. Dandelions are weeds and most often seen as a nuisance. This requires some thinking outside the window box. I suggest the mighty oak tree! Strong, useful, slow but steady growing, and with more than a few squirrels and nuts, I think it represents the best of this board, (not that I'm suggesting anyone go courting with an oak tree over their shoulder.) But more to the point, oak leaves have been used for years in military insignia that could easily be adapted via the local army/ navy store. Also, in terms of diversity there are many varieties of oaks; scarlet, white, red, water, willow, pin, to name but a few. They grow in most parts of the world, I think. Well there you have it, exactly two cents worth!
