Bouquet lesbian challenge, if you're up for it! What flower combinations would you choose for representative bouquets for Padme Amidala, Selina Kyle, Madam Gurie, and Mina Harker? Visuals, vibes, and personal associations are all valid justifications, I don't know shit about "official" flower symbology haha
Ask Me Anything What a whopper of a question!!!!! I certainly hope I'm up to the task!!! ("Official" flower symbology is mad - there's lots of different meanings ascribed to flowers over various cultures and time periods, and I'm just digging in my brain from what I can remember.) Padme Amidala - For the Queen of Naboo, myrtle flowers I believe have a royal association dating back a few centuries, and they represent purity, hope, and rebirth, all things Padme embodies or has ushered in. They'd pair well with the actual flowers placed in her hair for the funeral scene, star-of-Bethlehem flowers, which have an association with forgiveness. I'd throw in some blue and purple hyacinths to further the forgiveness meaning, as well as devotion beyond death for the spectre of the series. Maybe it's a bit morbid to give it to her while she's alive, but! Selina Kyle: Classic elegant roses (red, but I'll mix in the colours) for the passion and beauty of Gotham's premier femme fatale, but I'll balance them with some orchids, that tend to mean luxurity, sensuality, and elegance; purple ones are royal for a queen cat. I'll sneak some cattails in them for prosperity and the puns (if this is Eartha Kitt Selina, she'll really dig them.). Madame Giry (I think this is who you mean?): Since she might associate Roses with her frenemy Erik The Phantom, Jacarandas are elegant and rare and represent a wisdom that resonates with Madame. I think baby's breath would balance them nicely. I remember Canterbury Bells refer to messages and gratitude, so they would suit her as well, though I don't know how this whole bouquet would come together without some greenery to balance it! Mina Murray-Harker: Can I just plant her a whole garden??? I seem. to recall chamomiles stand for hope, healing, and recovery from adversity, and I want that for her most of all; I'd spruce up the bouquet, though, probably with the valour, hope, and showier blooms and popping blues and purples that can only be brought by irises. Which also lends space for some sapphic violets. I'd top it off with some white bellflowers that I remember? Vaguely? Reading are associated with gratitude for education? Thanks for the awesome challenge! You rock!
