Foxgloves have a history of folklore related to fairies. It is said that planting foxgloves will attract fairies, and that depending on the size of the fairy and the specific myth, they may wear the foxglove bloom as a dress, wear it as a hat, or if particularly small, use it for shelter and sleep inside.

passionflowers get their name from their appearance: the flowers' corona is said to resemble the crown of thorns jesus wore upon his crucifixion, and thus the flower is named after the passion of christ, a period of time encompassing judas's betrayal and ending with jesus's death.

“[fireweed is] one of the first flowers that grows, and grows the best, after a fire/out of the ashes of something old. so in my mind it’s suiting the theme of letting yourself grow from your grief and losses, and choose to move forward with new life”

"It has long been known that Roridula plays host to a curious insect called the assassin bug. These bugs live on the plant, and for reasons still unknown can traverse the sticky glands with no problem at all. When other insects become caught, the assassin bugs close in, stab their needlelike mouths into the struggling prey, and suck out the juices. [...] Assassin bugs, after sucking dry Roridula's prey, secrete a nutritious substance onto the plant that the leaves then absorb-- a true carnivore by proxy!" --Peter D'Amato, The Savage Garden 1st rev.

"Associated with spring, sakura trees represent renewal, joy and hope. Moreover, their flowers reflect the cycle of life. They radiate a magnificent but fleeting brilliance as they fade after only fifteen days, reminding all mortals of their fatal outcome. Thus, the cherry blossom is an invitation to enjoy life." - [hanakotoba]

"Associated with Buddhism, the white lotus is the flower of spirituality by excellence. This pond plant, which blooms in summer, symbolizes purity, mysticism and reincarnation. With its roots submerged in the mud, the lotus will always produce beautiful flowers above the water. For this reason, the lotus represents the elevation of the consciousness and the spirit." - [hanakotoba] (reincarnation, you say...? 😮)

"In Hanakotoba, the peony is related to bravery. It symbolizes honor, courage and strength. [...] On the other hand, the peony embodies the feminine ideal, because underneath its delicacy, its stem is resistant and its posture dignified. When faced with bad weather, the peony does not bend, unlike other flowers." - [hanakotoba]

"Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks, no mistakes
[...]
Who am I if I don't have what it takes?

No mistakes, no pressure" -lyrics from "surface pressure", encanto
