330 FLORAL EMBLEMS. 



YOU FREEZE ME. 



ICE PLANT. Mesembryantheum crystallinurti. 

 " With fretted frost-work spangled o'er." 



This species of mesembryantheum, whose 

 crystalized juices glitter like diamonds on the 

 plant, giving the idea of icicles in the heat of 

 summer, is emblematical of those cold-hearted 

 persons whose bosoms never warm into 

 friendship. 



Lord Byron says, a lady's friendship is love 

 full fledged, and only waiting for a fine day 

 to fly.
