I hate how fandom does flower symbolism; there are very few, if any, universal flower meanings, and flower symbolism is nonsense unless rooted in specificity.
#“look up the meaning of x” okay but. in what context.#because in one context that flower means rebirth in another it's a reference to a greek tragedy if you ask google it means joy and love#because there are 10k seo optimized listicles that generify every flower to mean joy and love#is it a cancer charity. is that what youre referencing. probably not but that flower also is used by some cancer charities.#do y'all see my issue#it's not always evident in context!#there are multiple flower languages too#different cultural associations#sometimes different colored flowers indicate different shit#anyway. i like to buy yellow roses when i vote. this is because suffragists sometimes wore yellow roses in contrast to anti suffragists#who wore red#this was in the early 1900s and in the US where i live and vote#if you google “meaning yellow roses”#you get joy and friendship#or jealousy and the end of a relationship#depending on the source#which is really illustrative of the problem
