Significance of offering yellow roses and lilies to a woman during medieval times?

Asked by ScottyMcGeester (1897points) July 24th, 2016

Goddamnit I read this somewhere and forgot to bookmark it. Been trying to Google it like crazy with no results.

I read that during medieval times knights would offer yellow roses and lilies to the one they wanted to marry. The legend went that whichever flower the woman picked first would predict the gender of their child. But I can’t fucking remember which flower was for which gender.
