Lilia Vanrouge’s Flower Bouquet Meaning

Twst Bdays Flower Language Masterlist

Lilia, in true Lilia fashion, surprised us all with news of his birthday card release. I wasn’t expecting his card to release for another few days at the least. But of course, he had to go against those expectations. 

As Lilia is one of my faves of twst, I will be writing a lot more than I usually do and will be adding possible theories along the way and mentioning Book 7 and other cards that have been released, so heed spoilers for book 7.

At first glance, his happy smile and the pinks and greens of his bouquet stood out to me. After book 7 release, it was nice seeing seeing him happy. 

As I looked further into his bouquet, I kind of wished he had more flowers but that's more of a personal preference. The flowers and foliage they have chosen for him though fits him perfectly as you will see. It’s full of meanings that really personifies what we know of him so far and some of the symbolism found in his bouquet can possibly give us a clue as to what’s to come in the future (please my heart). 

Some observations from the get go, Lilia’s flowers are mostly pink and green. Usually, Lilia has a habit of being a mix of pink and blue as a homage to Sleeping Beauty and the Fairies.

In this case though, you see that Lilia’s bouquet mainly consist of pink flowers. As Lala and I discussed, it seems that to us, this bouquet shows that he is not in between anymore. As if he had finally made a decision, and if we consider what happened in book 7, maybe it is a sign that Lilia had decided to leave NRC. 

Now of course, we don't know for sure what is going to happen in book 7 and this is all theorizing, but considering that Jamil is his interviewer and DUO. It makes sense if they went this route. Jamil and Lilia both have something in common and its that they want/love traveling. So it would make sense, if Lilia decides to leave NRC after talking about his traveling experiences and wanting to retire to do so.

Now another color we see is green, which can represent the green fairy, but as mentioned before usually Lilia can’t decide between pink and blue. Hence his shoes in his Union Birthday card. The one time he did choose green over pink and blue was in his SR groom card when Silver and Sebek couldn’t decide between Pink or Blue that would fit him best suit-color wise. Though technically, Lilia does have all the colors of the fairies. The pink and greens in the bouquet and his clothes are blue, representing all three. 

In the SR Groom card, Lilia had a flower with his green suit which was a White Rose. In Flower language, the White Rose can mean protection, truth, purity, and honesty. Additionally, white roses can also mean remembrance and reverence. It can also convey respect, pays homage to a new start, and expresses hope for the future. With the new content drop, it is rather telling isn’t it? In Japan, white roses have additional meaning of devotion and innocence.

On another note, I am curious to see his groovy and his flying capabilities given that in book 7 he said his power was depleting and he couldn't teleport anymore. Though, birthday cards can’t be taken seriously when it comes to time continuity anyways, but seeing him flying in the groovy will bring aches of pain and tears to us, the viewers, given what we know for now. (I know I will, that’s for sure!)

Now, onto the flowers 🌺💕💚

[As usual, my disclaimer from before stands, flowers have many different meanings depending on region and color, so the meanings I have might differ from the meanings you know]

His flowers are kind of hard to tell, so I put whichever ones I thought they might be. Get your hearts ready and anything you have that you can yeet that has Lilia’s face on it because this Fae just...you’ll see.

Flower Colors: 

Pink Flowers: Giving thanks, happiness, gentleness. Pink flowers are usually given on Mother’s day because of these associated meanings. As Lilia can be seen as a parental figure/father to Malleus, Silver, and even Sebek at times. It fits, wouldn’t you say?

Lavender/Purple flowers: Success, royalty, admiration, and tradition.

Green Flowers: Health, resilience, good fortune, and youth. Lilia and his always trying to be cute antics and Silver always wishing for his father to be healthy (don’t look at me, I am swimming in feels).

Bouquet: 

Pink Roses: gratitude and admiration, for those that you appreciate the most. Get well, healing, I’m sorry.

Pink Carnation: Thank you, I will never forget you, heartfelt gratitude 

Peonies: Good luck, prosperity, also know as the ‘king of flower in Japan’ and is known for bravery and honor. Peonies can last over a hundred years, often outliving the ones who planted them. (Which fits Lilia, doesn’t it? How many loved ones has he outlived?) 

White Roses: Reverence, remembrance, homage to a new start and expresses hope for a new future, devotion and innocence. (Man, my heart.)

Amaryllis: to sparkle, pride, strength, determination. These flowers blooms every year despite looking frail and it doesn’t take much to have them grow year after year. An interesting story is about a maiden who fell in love with a cold hearted man. She pierced her heart with a gold arrow and visited his cottage. After 30 days, her droplets of blood became beautiful flowers and the man fell in love with her and she was healed. Another type of Amaryllis is the cluster ones, we know it as the spider lilies. Common ones are the red spider lilies which is basically a red flag because it it means usually death and last goodbye. In this case though, it is pink meaning love and passion.

 Butterfly bush: rebirth, resurrection, and new beginning. (possible tie in with book 7? Most likely considering the theme and the fact that Lilia is slowly dying. This flower gives me hope)

Hops: These are said to have divine powers that give deeper insight of dreams while sleeping. (which is very very interesting considering the possibilities). Other meanings: injustice, pride, healing, sleep, and mirth.

Purple Bell Flowers: Elegant, wealth, gratitude, and faith.

Baby’s Breath: everlasting love, be present in this moment, breathe, love.

Lavender Sprig: Calmness, devotion, silence, purity.

Gerbera Pastini Venezia:  Hope, perseverance, always moving forward, Gratitude, devotion, sublime beauty. (Thank you @irafuwas​ and this post for the info  ☺️🥰🌺)

Random Fact: Anniversaries could also be considered, since its the 3rd bdays for all the boys, their flower will be Sunflower: strength  be well, happiness, male healing, confidence, self-esteem, assertiveness. Sounds just like them, doesn’t it?
