Flowers always hold meaning, and while most people know the red rose is a symbol of romance and the four-leaf clover is for good luck, there are a whole array of floral symbols that reference LGBTQ+ identities!

In this episode, Ellie takes us through some of the biggest botanic symbols adopted by the LGBTQ+ community, including violets, pansies and lavender.

We also talk a bit about our own identities and what the word 'queer' means to us personally.
