The Official Flowers of the Aidenverse

With the polls ended and going over comments, I have found lots of flowers that would help with symbolism with the main characters from my fanfic series "Aiding A Pal". After carefully going over each flower and suggestions, I saw that they all are great plants and if I were to do a bouquet for each character, they would get all the flowers. For the purpose of my fics, however, I narrowed it down to a few that will make it to my stories. So here's the official line-up of flowers/plants that will appear in my Aidenverse of Poppy Playtime Fanfiction and their meaning:

Poppy - The titular motif of the canon game which gets more of a role in an upcoming one-shot. (Sleep, Peace, Death, Consolation, remembrance)

Forget-Me-Not - This could be for the characters in general, but I mainly use this for Aiden's amnesia. (Memory, faithfulness, true love, respect, connection)

Fuchsia - Represents the protective nature of the main cast. (Trust, love, friendship, resilience, protection, patience, creative, confidence)

Purple Hyacinth - Aiden's flower. In the canon games so far, there is an emphasis about guilt, so I wanted a flower to represent that. (Deep regret, sorrow, forgiveness, playfulness, power, beauty, rebirth, renewal)

Yellow Freesia - Jack's flower. I wanted a yellow flower that represents innocence, so this one came to me. (Friendship, optimism, happiness, joy, innocence)

Orange Pansy/Montbretia - Matthew's flower. I know that Pansy won in my poll, but I love how Montbretia looks and its meaning, so I decided to compromise. Matthew starts out as Pansy but when he gets character development and bolder, his flower changes into Montbretia. (Pansy - Freethinking, warmth, hope, optimism, celebration, perseverance, compassion, love; Montbretia - Boldness, confidence, deep emotion, strong friendship, joy, passion, adventure, warmth, vitality)

Thistle - Kevin's flower. At first, I wanted a red flower for his rage, but I didn't want the flower to be taken out of context. I love the suggestion of a thistle, so I decided to stick with it and the poll result. (Resilience, Strength, Devotion, Determination, protection, pride, royalty, pain, aggression, intrusion, bravery)

And because of my love for plants/Little Shop of Horrors, all the flowers can turn into Venus Flytraps because WHY NOT!

Honorable Mentions: Passion flowers, Rue, Red Columbine

Lucifer is a Favorite

I look forward to these fire-engine-red blooms every June. Everything about this plant is beautiful, its straight bright green leaves, its yellow and red buds and its red blooms opening in a triangular pattern. This Crocosmia/ Montbretia/Lucifer is scattered throughout my gardens. The deer ignore every part of this plant. Oh, happy day! This is the easiest plant in my yard. It may need support…

⚘ Montbretia ⚘ - symbolizes love and deepest emotions

Hey everyone! They decided to drop another mug in the Shark Robot store for the "Helluva Boss" Valentine Day's run and it's a Hellthcare one! ^_^<3<3<3 Just look how cute chibi Satan is and awww to Yogirt cheering him on! That is just adorable!!! ^_^<3<3<3

As for the flowers, to me it looks like the red ones in the corner are red chrysanthemums which is likely representative of Satan's strength and royalty (but if Hellthcare is a thing, which seems to be the indication, it could be love too ;) ).

The orange ones were harder to figure out, but I think they're a type of flower commonly called "Coppertips" or Crocosmia/Montbretia and they could be there to represent strength, warmth and his enthusiasm for war/working out/etc.

However:

I think part of the reason they may have chosen this flower is because of there being a species of crocosmia referred to as "Lucifer" crocosmia, and since we saw how much Satan wants to be in charge and not Lucifer, it might be a bit of a dig/reference to that, at least in my opinion. ;) XD
