Thank you, really pleased you enjoyed reading flowerology! PIE stands for Proto-Indo-European, a 6,500-year-old language; the root of most European languages, spoken by the Kurgans who lived in the area which spread from the Black Sea to the Kaspian Sea, from 4,500BC. In 2,500BC they moved north, spreading their language into Europe.
