The word "voluptuous" would in Dutch mean something like rubenesque (body) or maybe curvaceous, having the curves of a full or voluptuous figure (woman)   
It was the curvaceous AND abundant meanings I was referring to! Reminding me of a 1950's Hollywood star. :-*

I like Narcissus 'Badbury Rings' but can't remember seeing it in the trade down here. It's one of John Blanchard's raising and named after an Iron Age hill fort near to where he lives in East Dorset.

Lovely lot of Iris retics. this week Luit

Maggi - it would have been even funnier if I had spelled voluptuous correctly.

For younger forumists -  along with 3 or 4 others,  La Lollo was an example of the maggiorate fisiche who adorned the cinema screens of the 50s & 60s.

Anne - it cannot be a coincidence that one of her films from the 50s was entitled (in English) The Woman of Romaine
