Okay so I know absolutely nothing about flowers BUT my mother is an avid gardener and Artist. I asked her if she could try to decipher the waistcoat that the costume department said was foreshadowing a lot of season 3 part 2
This one:

On the coat are multiple flowers, these are what we think they are and their known meanings
(I am not a genius and therefore this is all speculation for funsies ๐Ÿคฃ) (all meanings are either taken from the Language of Flowers or Known English meanings of the time.)
First is Foxglove:
Tumblr media
Symbolic of Conundrums, riddles and secrets
Flax:
Tumblr media
Symbolic of purity, perseverance and rebirth
Bird's foot trefoil:
Tumblr media
Symbolic of revenge, usually a passive aggressive flower
Wallflower:
Tumblr media
Symbolic of faithfulness in the face of adversity
Spruce:

This is found wrapped or hovering around every flower and I think may have multiple meanings.
Symbolic of birth in English meaning but is considered the 'Tree of birth' In ancient Greece the tree is related to Artemis (a Greek goddess) who presides over childbirth and is a protector of women.
