Ah, Black Swallowtail Butterflies must give you nightmares, then!
The symbolic meanings of Parsley include "useful knowledge" and "joy" so that seems accurate. You are a fount of useful knowledge and joy to have around.
The 'Apricot' went from a deep, orange-y apricot to a pale, buttery yellow with age. I read, somewhere, that 'Lowry's Peach' doesn't fade as much with age. Does it seem likely that these are two different forms? I've not seen the 'Lowry's Peach' in person yet.
Thanks!
