Not sure if it's necessarily weird, but I haven't met anyone else that shares my same interest in flower language. I LOVE flower language and use it in my own stories and art pieces. I can also most of the time pick up on when it is used in media. I still have a lot to learn, but I can go on for days about certain flowers and their meanings.
Which I will do a bit right now for anyone interested:
My favorite is a flower of many names: the lycoris, Higanbana, Manjusaka or most commonly known as "spider lilies". They are poisonous so they would often be put around gravesites to keep animals away and over time became associated with death. They are also believed to lead souls to the afterlife due to their striking red color. While red lycoris are associated usually with death, white lycoris are associated with purity, reincarnation, and, well, also death.
There is a story in Chinese mythology of lycoris involving love and tragedy. As they bloom, their leaves shed. And as they wilt, their leaves grow. There were two elves, MaĂąju and Saka who were asked to guard the flowerâs petals and leaves. However, they were curious about each other, and decided to meet. It was love at first sight, but the sun goddess, Amaterasu, punished them for disobeying. They were fated to never meet again, explaining why the leaves and petals bloom separately.
I use these flowers in my novel
