image description

Drawings of severeral people interacting with flowers in some way.

  • The first coughs up rue: regret, sorrow, repentance
  • The second cries lamprocapnos: rejected/passionate/unrequited love
  • The third is showered and decorated in laurel: ambition, success, renown
  • The fourth is untouched by a halo of baby’s breath: innocence, purity of heart
  • The fifth sniffs a single daffodil: chivalry, respect, new beginnings
  • The sixth observes a black dahlia: betrayal, dishonesty
  • The seventh tends to diphylleia: I will show my true self to you, clarity, honesty
  • The eighth contemplates, face partially covered by yellow carnation: rejection, disdain, disappointment
  • A ninth exhales a smoke of asphodel: my regrets follow you to the grave. (The petals float up, intermingling with rue.)
