Looking for a fic where Spike uses Victorian flower language. Not the Anaross one. I'm almost positive there is another out there.

is it 'What You Wish For' by pfeifferpack in chapter 16 there's a reference to Victorian Flower Language.

Here's the excerpt:

Spike looked from one arrangement to another. The Victorian poet that still lived within wondered what response he might get if he ordered up an odd bunch of botanicals to say what he wanted to say. Sadly, the language of flowers was lost to this age. Buffy would not understand the collection of tree branches, leaves and unusual wildflowers that might spell out how sorry he was for lying to her, how he vowed to never betray her trust again and how he longed for reconciliation.


Instead he settled on a more normal-looking bouquet that still had meaning. The florist put together the red and white chrysanthemums that spoke of 'truth' and 'I love' along with the cedar leaf greenery that pronounced 'I live for thee' in the dead language William still spoke fluently.

He selected a bunch of daffodils for Joyce to express 'regard'. Spike had liked the woman's spirit since his first real meeting at the business end of her axe at Buffy's school. The woman had a warrior's heart.

He dressed carefully, laying aside his black denim for navy cotton twill slacks and a soft, sky blue button-down shirt that any mother would approve of. He decided to forgo a necktie and left the top two buttons open, exposing his neck and giving him a casual air.

Bouquets in hand and the steel of determination guiding him, Spike headed towards Revello Drive, not certain at all of his welcome. He really wished he still had that Gem!

Sorry, no, it's neither of those.

It's similar to the Anaross story, but rather than grow a garden, Spike sends the flowers to Buffy. At least that's how I remember it.
