WELCOME TO THE SPECIAL FLORIOGRAPHY SERVICE

Special Floriography Service (SFS) is a SAS: ROGUE HEROES fandom event that explores ideas / themes / concepts through flower symbolism / language. It's open to all, and it requires no sign-up or time limit; you can post your work after or even before the event officially ends / starts. Likewise, the event itself will repeat and reopen - with the given that there is tons of language to explore, and there are enough characters on top of that. Our first prompt schedule is set within August 2026; the tag you should use is #SFSaugust. Otherwise, we wouldn't see your works !! * You can post WIPs / Finished Creations and @ us for us to reblog / share even if we haven't officially started * You can reblog works that had flower symbolism for this event and @ us for more visibility for them, regardless of whether they weren't made with the event in mind * This is an event to support creativity / share individual work / appreciate the fandom - every form of art (fanfiction, edit, artwork, web weaving, poetry, music, etc.) will be treated equally and adored the most! * You can participate even if you do not create; reblogging, commenting, and kudos are forms of participation and support! * We recommend you follow this blog for updates / event specific posts; however, it is not required for participation!

Ralph Spina + IRL Ralph Spina's answers to the WW2 Veteran's Survey

Letter from Lieutenant Colonel Blair 'Paddy' Mayne, wartime SAS commander, to Major Harry Poat, one of his deputies in 1 SAS.

Smalllll info dump as the historian in me finds it fascinating how he also signs off with 'Paddy' and not with R. B. Mayne or Blair✨️

Askbox is glitching so @andtheivy I'll answer this way — made a Mayne supercut with identifiers!
