uhhh
sorry to tell you this, but animals and furries are explicitly a weak point of mine. Definitely did not start off doing furry art.

A small series of "Flower Language" (and leaves) portraits for some gems. I definitely did research (though couldn't tell you the sources anymore) and picked stuff out for all the major characters but only finished these three. Actually I found the notes doc I made, helpfully with reference pictures, so I can tell you what each of these ones are and what they mean! Under the cut.
Amethyst
Clematis (large light purple flowers) - Artifice/Trickery
Larch (pink and berry-looking) - Audacity
Sloe (blue berries) - Difficulty
London Pride (white with pink spots and middle) - Frivolity
Jewelweed (purple heart-shaped flowers) - Impatience
Coriander (background foliage, small ruffled leaves) - Hidden Worth
Peridot
Hollyhock (white, sort of trumpet shaped flowers) - Ambition
Euphorbia (small yellow flowers in clusters of three) - Persistence
Rose, yellow (...I think you know what a rose looks like.) - Jealousy
Clotbur (large three-pointed leaves) - Rudeness
Lapis Lazuli
Mourning Bride (large bunches of tiny white flowers) - "I have lost all"
Anemone (white star shaped flowers with deep blue middle) - Forsaken
Columbine, blue (Small white flower with long periwinkle outer petals) - Desertion
Jacob's Ladder (small purple flowers with long stamens) - "Come down"
Aloe vera (long thin spiked leaves) - Grief
Oak Leaves (wiggly? hopefully recognizable lol) - Bravery
I remember looking at a lot of different sources to get the kinds of meanings I was looking for. Not the usual stuff for bouquets that all mean varying levels of love and friendship and whatnot. So some of these could be kind of made up! You can never trust the internet. But I tried.
