because I'm autistic I decided to catalogue all the flower language meanings in pommes gift to pepito and em

regrettably I'm not including sunny because there were no flowers in her gift. this is mainly for me to have an archive of it. pomme did say she looked into flower meanings for em ! if anyone has anything to add/correct please do, I tried my best to find the names of some of the modded flowers but I'm not familiar with the mods so I didn't know for sure, just guessed based off appearance

Pepito

blue amaranth (amaranthus in general) - longevity, immortality (amaranthus is derived from Greek meaning unfading)

red amaranth (also known as love-lies-bleeding) - hopeless love or intense and genuine love, deep emotion, warmth, energy

purple amaranth - unchanging affection, independence, individuality, abundance, prosperity

pink amaranth - vitality, empathy, compassion, understanding, given to show support, comfort, affection

additional info : red, pink and purple amaranth are colours that amaranth cockscomb comes in, amaranth cockscomb is most associated with red, amaranth cockscomb means affectation (pretentious manner) and foppery (excessive attention paid to clothes/appearance)

Em

cornflowers (pomme's favourite flower) - beauty, purity, grace, love, fertility, nature and its independence, bravery, loyalty, hope, anticipation, patience, elegance, delicacy, refinement, single blessedness

the cornflower has ties to France; there is a story that when Napoleon invaded Prussia Queen Louise hid her children in a field of cornflowers, making flower crowns for their heads so they would blend in. It was also worn by the french military. Cornfowers in France are a symbol of remembrance, known as the Bleuet de France.

black rose - death, mourning, tragedy, farewell to a loved one, danger, sorrow, revenge, endings, new beginnings, rebirth, eternal love. historically it was a symbol of dark magic, but also a symbol of resistance for anarchist and anti-authoritarian groups

poppies - consolation, remembrance, death, peace, loss, deep sleep, eternal rest, imagination, resurrection

peony - good luck, compassion, love, honour, happiness, wealth, elegance, beauty, bashfulness, shame

The association between peonies and bashfulness is from folklore where pesky nymphs hid in the petals of peonies. In China they symbolise rank/wealth. It is said that Empress Wu Zetian walked through the imperial gardens and became upset the flowers weren't blooming, issuing a decree for them to bloom. The next day they all bloomed apart from the peonies, which enraged her, and she ordered them burnt. The next day, however, they grew back from the ashes as red flowers, then she banished them to Luoyang Palace.

That one red and white/cream flower in the pack is my greatest enemy. it could be a red and white carnation, in which case it would mean purity, luck, love and affection, or more likely the incan lily meaning devotion, pure friendship, support, love, faithfulness, "you are beloved" condolences at a time of sorrow, or it could also be a red and white rose symbolising unity

I think the flowers at the bottom are red marigolds? I'm working under the assumption they are. Red marigolds - love, passion, marigolds - grief, despair, genuine hurt from mourning, compassion, remembrance, the beauty and warmth of the rising sun, resurrection. In Shakespeare's A Winters Tale Perdita hands flowers out saying "The marigold, that goes to bed wi'th' sun, And with him rises,weeping.”

Peonies

In the language of flowers, the peony carries the symbolic meaning of romance, compassion, good luck, prosperity, a happy marriage, and even bashfulness. In their native China, peonies are often referred to as the “queen of flowers” and are the official state flower of Indiana.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ❤️ Ace Birthday SSR flower analysis* ❤️*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

*Mandatory reminder that I’m no flower specialist, which means these are all very subjective opinions. Take everything with a grain of salt! (Again, I know I’m beyond late but this I’m really posting this more for completion’s sake than anything else)

Pink roses symbolize grace, happiness, gentleness, as well as appreciation and admiration. Purple/lilac roses on the other hand stand for enchantment, majesty and royalty (though they very well might still be pink ones and they simply look purple to me.)

Chrysanthemums represent optimism, joy, and longevity, as well as love and passion.

Pink peonies symbolize good luck and prosperity, compassion, romance, and even bashfulness. (They’re also popular wedding flowers so they also represent a happy marriage.)

Gerberas convey cheerfulness. In pink they specifically symbolize grace, admiration and sympathy, as well as respect and admiration. Darker hues of pink can also represent gratitude.

I’m fairly certain the flower at the top right of his bouquet is a snapdragon which represents betrayal or deception but can also mean graciousness and protection from evil though red ones usually represent love, passion and overall positive energy.

These are my un-educated guesses, but  feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong/what flowers I might’ve missed.

Silver x GN!Reader - Flowers

@starry-night-rose enjoy

——————————————————————————

You walked towards Silver’s favorite napping spot with bouquet of flowers in your hand. You grin when you spot the silver-haired male napping under the tree. Birds chirp above him and the rabbits that approach him with interest scatter when you approach the sleeping man.

You kneeled down next to your sleeping partner and smiled. You took off his green hat and brushed the silver hair out of his face and planted a kiss on his forehead. Did Silver just blush in his sleep?

Hyacinth. A symbol of peace and commitment, but can also mean sorrow and forgiveness. You took the flower from the bouquet and placed it in his hair, next to his left ear.

You smiled when a bird flew back, curious about what you were doing. You took your attention back to Silver and took the next flower out. Lavender represents serenity and calmness. A symbolism for a long life. You placed it in his hair next to the right ear.

Everlasting love for pink bluebells was placed on the top of his head in his hair. You had to adjust this flower a few times cause it kept slipping and falling off.

Fluffy pink peonies meant romance, prosperity, and bashfulness. You placed this flower next to the pink bluebells with a soft smile on your face.

A bird dropped a red rose, a symbol for love, romance, beauty, and perfection. Just what silver was in your eyes. On the opposite end, a squirrel brought a white rose, conveying purity.

You took out a matthiola incana, ready to weave it into a flower crown. The smell of spicy cinnamon and clove scent of this flower means beauty that doesn’t fade with age and a lifetime of happiness.

Red chrysanthemums were next to the matthiola incanas. Love and compassion. Something you would give to Silver no matter what.

You remember how Silver gave you a bouquet of Ranunculus. He said that he was letting you know that he was dazzled by your charms. Your face grew a soft pink when remembering what he said.

Pink asters were intertwined next to the Red chrysanthemums. Love, charm and sensitivity were what this flower symbolized. You smiled softly when a rabbit waddled over to Silver with gerbera daisies. A symbol for beauty, innocence, and purity. It dropped the flowers on his lap.

The flower that stood for perfect love was currently being eaten by a deer. The leaves of the Tulip were gone and the flower was in ruins. You sighed and took the one that looked the least damaged and weaved it in the flower crown.

A bird placed an orchid on his head. Flowers in full bloom and stick still attached to the flowers. You remember being told that these flowers meant love, beauty, luxury, and strength when you first got them from an ‘admirer’. You couldn’t believe that the admirer was Silver of all people.

The last flower that was weaved into your flower crown for silver was the Alyssum. A flower that meant “worth beyond beauty” and “sweetness of soul”.

You got up and placed the multicolored flower crown on his head and for the remaining flowers you stuck them in his hair and placed them on his lap. The moment he was awake, you were long gone and it was already the evening. He smiled softly when he reached up and felt the flowers in his hair.

🌼 for the ask game :)

🌼 - Here's another Wikipedia article, this time on flower symbolism. What flower (or bouquet) goes with your OC best?

Hehehe, time for me to open Pandora's box for this one...

I gasped out loud when I read this prompt, because over this past month I've been obsessed with flower symbolism. I bought myself a book on Victorian flower language after falling down a research rabbit hole and have been slowly teaching myself all of the different meanings. Because of this, flower symbolism actually ends up playing a minor role in Agent Ace, so this question is especially appropriate (go figure)! So, thank you for giving me an excuse to think about it even more! :)

Of course, it was impossible to choose just one flower for each OC, so everyone gets a bouquet! I also may have gotten a lil' carried away with how many characters I included in this post... my five primary OCs plus three minor OCs (all from Agent Ace). I had so much fun matching flowers to the characters, and am honestly shocked I didn't think to do it before!!

Bellatrix Lestrange has a daughter who befriends Harry AU

So...conception. 

Well, Rodolphus and Bellatrix conceive a child on the order of Voldemort. Since Voldemort wants to live forever, he keeps in mind that his army would need an eventual replacement. And if Bellatrix is willing to spend so much time in Azkaban for Voldemort, than surely motherhood is less extreme than 14 years of torture. Plus, if they are unable to perform, well, Voldemort can always cast Impero. 

I think the couple would still end up in Azkaban, Voldemort would still diseappear and the Longbottoms are here also. Also, I headcanon that they were fed some pain-relief cancelling potions by Rabastan who spiked their tea. A potion that blocks the body’s natural soothing reflexes, thus making the brain overflow with cortisol to the point of nerve damage. And it makes more sense then just the Crucio thing, because I try to be more scientific than J.K Rowling. 

Now, in terms of name, the Lestrange family seems to be, for the British branch, have latinized Germanic names inspired by scavenging animals, and the French branche has Latin names based of creepy animals and concepts (although the girls seem to have perfectly normal names, if a bit rare). The Black family seemed to all have constellation names, mostly Greek and Latin.  However, we all know J.K Rowling loves name symbolisme. Peonies, in French flower language are associated with bashful love (especially pink ones), apology (especially white peonies), shame (french expression: rouge comme une pivoine), compassion, wealth, passion (especially red ones) and remorse. In british flower language, it can symbolize unluck and luck, while for Americans it can represent wealth and marital bliss. In China, it can mean honor, beauty, luck and wealth, and in Japan, it can symbolize honor and bravery. The peony plant is mildly toxic, but have been used historically as a pain killer in small doses. 

So for a character who tries to do good, and wash herself of the family shame to do what is right, the Peony seems right. So Peony Lestrange she is. 

Now, by who she will be raised. There are multiple possibilities, including: grandparents and aunt, Andromeda and Ted Tonks, the Malfoys, and Walden Macnair and his wife (who’s probably a psycho, because if he’s a walking stereotype and a more competant version of Jack Ketch, than he can be also married to a stereotypical Bourrelle, because why not pile up stereotypes at this point) or the Muggle foster system. I think the Muggle foster system would make her a bit to angsty for something like Harry Potter, but she can live with her grandparents and aunt, with maybe some cousins (I already made two OCs for this). Now, Andromeda and Ted Tonks would probably find it very strange having to raise the daughter from the family that disowned her, so that may not happen. Narcissa would probably welcome her niece with open arms, but Lucius, I don’t think he would want the attention of raising the daughter of the two most infamous Death Eaters when he tries to distance himself, although he could just as well craft a story of socializing her into becoming a “respectable young lady”, and Macnair might become responsable for the children of Azkaban thanks to some obscure law.  I think getting her raised by the Malfoys, and have regular contact with her grandparents and cousins, plus Macnair, would give her a nice “framework”. 

In terms of looks, none of the HP main characters are describes as particularly “hot”, mostly normal teenagers. However, many purebloods, at least from the “evil” families, are shown as good looking, but sickly. We can have a slight mixt of the two by having her get a pale, ashy complexion and reddish dark, intense circles (if snakes can blink, Harry have magical hair and Snape have pitch-black eyes, she can have a slightly unrealistic complexion, plus it’s not that flattering to current beauty standards) giving her a shadowy stare. 

And why would she rebel against her family. I think she would be someone who grows up feeling incredibly lonely, plus let’s not forget the casual relationships many pureblood wizards have with violence, and that’s already a very bad mixt. Plus, I think she would be genetically pre-disposed to enjoy the thrill of the chase, both as predator and as prey. So, Peony would grow up a very depressed child, subconsciously desiring real relationship. Also, might have reoccurring nightmares from living under the same roof as a sadist, even if they don’t harm her directly. Now, she would still be a proud pureblood used to grow up in an odd mixture of wealth and outcast hood, and be quite proud, and be hugely impulsive. Now, Lucius Malfoy is a sadist, it’s basically canon. Macnair is also a sadist (who tries to contend himself with animals, but is more than happy to move onto human victims), and Snape has some sadistic tendencies, but mostly show as verbal bullying and is not a serious threat. But I think her rebellion would be slow, and she would probably want, in the beginning at least, to still have warm relationships. Also, since the only reason she was born in the first place is to be groomed into becoming a death eater, so yeah, that’s also something to consider. Also, living in such a social environment, would require if she lacks cunning, a great deal of bravery. So, for her to be into Gryffindor were she would have more opportunities to befriend Harry, she will have to be a little dumb dumb, and frankly quite clueless, especially with social life.

Hi Goldy! I was just laying in bed and found myself wondering what Aj's favorite flowers were?

Teethers!! 💖🤗

Thank you for thinking of my girl 🥺👉👈

AJ's favourite flowers are hydrangea, dahlia and peony, tho she basically loves all kinds of flowers. For example she really likes how lily of the valley smell.

She definitely has some flowers growing in her garden, among the stated flowers are also roses. Her mother told her that her grandmother had also had roses in her garden that mysterical died when her grandmother deceased. They believe it is some kind of witchy thing because they also know that her granny for example layed tarot cards.

AJ also has knowledge in floriography, which is 'the language of flowers'.

Flower meaning

Hydrangea

represents gratitude, grace and beauty

also radiates abundance because of the lavish number of flowers and the generous round shape

Fruits Basket Characters and Flower Language - Part Two

Hatori - Wisteria - kindness, welcome, never leave, love drunk - 

Season - Mid-to-Late Spring 

Other Symbolism - Crescent Moon (Waning) = letting go, contemplation, and reflection

Ayame - Japanese Iris - happy news, grace, “I believe in you,” spirit, kindness, trust, loyalty Season - Early-to-Mid Summer

Rin - Peony - dignity and richness, English Meaning - bashfulness, compassion Season: Early Summer

Hiro - Honeysuckles - bonds of love, devotion, OR Erica Shrub - loneliness, solitude, love for humanity, kind words - Season - Summer

----

For Hiro’s both are mostly guesses. I was thinking of the possibility of honeysuckles (though the flowers don’t look quite right for that), but @somekindoflesbiandisaster​ also had that thought as well. They also suggested the Erica Shurb. Those two flowers/shrubs are probably the closest I could find to Hiro’s flower here. I feel I searched through every kind of summer flower out there by now, lol.

As like before, I found nearly all of my love language info over on hananokotoba (dot) com. The art comes from the new ED, which is the song “Eden” and is performed by the band Monkey Majik. I’m going to get the other parts up tomorrow (technically later today, I need to go to sleep now, but the Hiro one was bugging me so much, lol).
