Pink Lilies was the winner of the WordPress 1.2 style competition, back when we were being told that the xhtml was sacrosanct and all our styling had to be done through CSS. You know, a bit like wordpress.com 
I don’t really know why this wasn’t installed here when its fellow 1.2 styles Rubric and Toni were, but am guessing it was just a bit too pretty.
[ETA: actually, scroll down to the bottom of the page I linked and it becomes obvious why it wasn't installed here, and why we needed a better skeleton than Classic in order to make the styling-through-CSS thing workable.]
The original CSS for this was significantly more complex than that for X-blog so if there’s any residual flakiness please do let me know.
It’s another port, so you know what you have to do: copy and paste the content of pinklilies.txt into your custom CSS box, et voila! Pink flowers that don’t induce vomiting!
