🪻Pedro Boys & Flowers.

It's no secret that I love flowers, so pairing the Pedro Boys with florals that represent them, is something that's not only fun, but super interesting trying to pick out meanings that match their personalities.

🪻This is a re-creation of my original post, with new Pedro Boys added to the garden. Originally requested by lovely @doughmonkey

Enjoy! 🖤

PEDRO BOYS RAMBLES MASTERLIST | MAIN MASTERLIST

🪻Javi Gutierrez - Sunflower The sunniest flower for our sunniest Pedro Boy, Javi! Sunflowers often represent the sun and Javi just beams like it, doesn't he? Sunflowers also bring good fortune, and represent a long life and lasting happiness. It's often seen as a symbol of faith and devotion, radiating positivity and hope. In some Eastern religions, such as Buddhism, Sunflowers are considered sacred and represent spiritual enlightenment. Or, "divine inspiration", as Javi would say...

🪻Ezra - Passion Flower Passion flowers, not only look a little alien in their bloom, they also have healing properties, which Ezra could do with in abundance, right? Roman Catholic priests of the late 1500's named it for the Passion (suffering and death) of Jesus Christ. And Kevva, has this prospector suffered... Passion Flowers can incite love and passion and help you attract companionship. And a lonely Prospector will greatly relish companionship of the talkative kind. A perfect flower to represent my main man, Ezra.

🪻Joel Miller - Sweet Pea Sweet Peas represent goodbyes and yearning. In Victorian England, for example, Sweet Peas were often given as a sign of departure or goodbye to a loved one. Considering Joel has lost Sarah, Tess and most people in his life, I'd say a Sweet Pea would be a good representation of a flower for Joel. Sweet Peas also mean blissful pleasure, friendship and gratitude. They come in all sorts of colours too, such as shades of white, pink, coral, red, violet and blue, and some combining two colours.

🪻Frankie Morales - Red Poppy Red Poppies are worn as a symbol of support for the Armed Forces community, and to remember our fallen military personnel. The Poppy is a common symbol that has been used to represent everything from peace to death, and even simply sleep. Seeing as Frankie worked in the forces, he would probably tuck a red Poppy flower behind your ear then kiss you sweetly, as he walks hand-in-hand with you through the local Veteran's Day Parade.

🪻Marcus Acacius - Geranium Romans grew many flowers in their gardens, including Roses, Violets, Geraniums, Buttercups, Irises, Lilies and Daisies, to name a few. They also brought exotic flowers in across their empire, and would use many flowers in garlands, crowns and wreaths, as well as in medicines and in food. I chose Geraniums for Marcus as they are considered a protective flower, and as Marcus is a General, he would be a protector of the people and his soldiers alike. (He mentions about not wanting to send his soldiers to die for the emperor's vanity.)

🪻Reed Richards - Clematis In both Victorian and Greek mythology, the Clematis flower often represents mental acuity and cleverness. Considering Reed is a scientist fluent in mechanical, aerospace and electrical engineering, chemistry, all levels of physics, and human and alien biology, I'd say this flower is a perfect representation of him. The Clematis is also known for its slow growth, with an old saying that goes, "The first year they sleep, the second year they creep, and the third year they leap". Whilst Mr Fantastic can certainly "stretch", so too do these pretty florals, as their growth stretches out over time.

🪻Javier Peña - Anemone Anemones are my most favourite flower. It was believed that the flower sprang from the blood of the slain Adonis, who was a lover of the goddess Aphrodite. As such, Anemones are often seen as a symbol of love and passion. And there's no-one more passionate a lover than Javi P, right? Anemone flowers are available in many colors with each symbolizing a different meaning. White Anemone flowers symbolize sincerity due to their delicate appearance. Red and pink Anemone flowers symbolize death or forsaken love. Purple Anemone flowers symbolize protection from evil. I think Javi would be a purple Anemone, due to the job he has... he'd definitely protect you.

🪻Marcus Pike - Pink Rose More subtle than the bold traditional Red Rose, Pink Roses typically symbolise admiration, happiness, and love. Pink Roses also symbolise sweetness, femininity, appreciation, and admiration - all traits that this handsome agent showers in abundance towards his love interest. I think receiving a bunch of beautiful pink, velvety Roses from Marcus Pike would sweep you off your feet - and totally convince you to go to Washington D.C. with him.

🪻Dieter Bravo - Gerbera Daisy Colourful, fun and a little kooky looking, Gerbera daisies are just flowers that make me smile in abundance. And so does Dieter Bravo. Yellow Gerbera daisies tend to symbolize cheerfulness and celebration. Orange Gerberas convey that the person you present it to is the sunshine of your life. Red Gerberas represent an unconscious love or to be fully immersed in love. White Gerberas symbolise innocence and purity. Pink Gerberas are a symbol of admiration, adoration, or high esteem for someone. I imagine Dieter would love these because he would be attracted to the variety of colours and they would make him smile, even when high.

🪻Agent Whiskey - Wild Heliotrope In the language of flowers, Wild Heliotrope symbolises devotion and an everlasting love, which when you think about Whiskey losing his sweetheart and baby boy, this flower couldn't be more suitable for him. It has a delicious scent and the flowers follow the sun as it tracks across a winters day, hence the name "Heliotrope" which is derived from the Greek Helios meaning sun and tropos meaning 'turn' or 'direction'. Everlasting love is a journey that you rarely falter from the path, so I imagine Whiskey would choose this flower to place on the grave of his sweetheart and baby boy.

🪻Lucien Flores - Azalea Although we don't know much about Lucien (as of posting this) in some cultures, Azaleas symbolize taking care of yourself and others, making them a good gift for someone who needs a quick recovery or to express your affection for a loved one. In the film clips we've seen, Lucien mentions he no longer drinks, and clearly still harbours some longing for his ex-partner, so I feel this flower is spot on for him. Not to mention how stunning how it is, and delicate, traits I feel Lucien has deep down.

🪻Dave York - Black Dahlia Black Dahlias aren't truly black, but rather a very deep shade of crimson that appear black. They symbolise betrayal and sadness, so shouldn't be gifted lightly. It also represents inner strength, likely due to the plant's ability to tolerate such harsh conditions. Although a stunning flower to behold, the symbolism doesn't come without it's notoriety; they're associated with the infamous murder of Elizabeth Short (The Black Dahlia Murder) in 1947 in Los Angeles. Dave is definitely a strong, resilient character, regardless if you feel he was justified in his actions or not. Black Dahlias and Dave York? Nuff' said.

🪻Max Phillips - White Trumpet Pitcher A flower with a bite, just like Max. A carnivorous plant, this flower eats insects. They have simple nodding flowers and leaves modified as hollow pitchers, which function to passively trap insects, luring them with nectar, then digesting them or drowning them with fluids, later to be absorbed by the plant. So, although it looks pretty and alluring on the outside, beware whats hidden underneath - just like our feisty vampire, Max. Nom.

🪻Oberyn Martell - Marigold With their vibrant orange, yellow and red petals, naturally Marigolds are symbols of positive emotions, like joy and excitement. Marigolds also represent energy, good luck, warmth, creativity, prosperity and more importantly - passion. Oberyn exudes passion in abundance, whether indulging in sex or plotting revenge, so this flower would be prefect for him. Their vibrant colors and strong fragrance make them an essential part of various traditions, festivals, and rituals worldwide, such as Día de Los Muertos. A perfect flower to represent Oberyn, in both life and death.

🪻Din Djarin - Ghost Orchid The Ghost Orchid earned its name due to its ghostly white petals and the illusion of floating in mid-air when attached to trees, with no visible roots or leaves. The Ghost Orchid is considered one of the most elusive orchids in existence. Its scarcity and remote habitat have contributed to its mythical status among plant enthusiasts. Due to its unique growth habits and specific environmental requirements, sightings of the Ghost Orchid in the wild are extremely rare. A little like our Mandalorian here in the sense you never see his face. He, like the flower, is elusive and a rare specimen indeed. And when you do get an eventual glimpse of it, it's absolutely breathtaking.

🪻Marcus Moreno - Strawflower Holding on to their shape and color long after being cut, Strawflowers are said to symbolize immortality and are commonly known as 'Everlasting' flowers. Their endurance and strength is notable, and we can compare this to our original resident hero of the Pedro Boys, Marcus Moreno. Everlasting flowers symbolize eternal love, hope, and remembrance. They're often used in wedding bouquets, funeral arrangements, and other special occasions to express enduring sentiments and commemorate cherished memories. Considering Marcus is also a widower, this flower is a great choice to represent him.

🪻Tim Rockford - Bird Of Paradise The Bird Of Paradise flower symbolizes joyfulness, freedom, anticipation, and excitement. Furthermore, it represents faithfulness, love and thoughtfulness while being the official flower of the ninth wedding anniversary. As someone who is often bogged down in the the dark gloom of investigations, a colourful, peppy flower such as this would brighten Tim's mood instantly after coming home from a long day of work.

🪻Pero Tovar - Tiger Lily Tiger Lilies represent courage, strength, and confidence. The main red Tiger Lily meaning is passion. White Tiger Lily can be described as purity. Pero would be of the red variety, considering he wields such strength, courage and confidence on the battlefield. Tiger Lilies also have healing properties and the Lance Leaf Tiger Lily is native to China. Apt, considering Pero fights there.

🪻Maxwell Lord - Forget-Me-Not Giving someone one of these small blossoms is a pledge that you will never forget them and that you'll think of them often. For this reason, they're also considered a symbol of fidelity and faithfulness. Forget-Me-Nots represent true love, and giving someone this flower means you truly love and respect them. Similarly to making a wish, if Max gifts you with these flowers, he's not likely to forget you in a hurry.

🪻Silva - Red Rose The most classic of them all, a Red Rose is a perfect choice for a significant other. This stunning shade most popularly stands for passion and communicates love. It's the rose of romance and deep feelings, but can also relay desire, beauty, victory, harmony, joy, luck, pride and martyrdom. Which if you're familiar with Silva and his traits, this flower is the perfect choice for him.

🪻Veracruz - Petunia Petunias display feelings of deep resentment and anger. Despite their amazingly striking appearance, they take people by surprise because of their shocking underlying meanings. And if you know a thing or two about Veracruz, you know he's just like a Petunia - beautiful on the outside, but sinister and resentful on the inside.

🪻Dio Morrissey - Hellebore Some cultures believe the Hellebore represents scandal - and we all know the type of scandal Dio landed himself in, right? In Victorian times, the flowers signified delirium, and we can probably all agree that Dio lives in his own little world of delirium. That being said, these flowers are just stunning, but all parts of the flower contain toxic compounds. Just like Dio, they're gorgeous, but can be deadly.
