I'm finally able to show my page for @onceuponaturnaboutzine !
My piece was based on stories of fairies as they appear in the works of Shakespeare. All of the plants that appear in the piece were chosen for their symbolic meanings in relation to Dahlia and Phoenix's relationship. I even made a little diagram explaining them that I'll put under the cut
transcript in case you can't read my terrible handwriting:
Wisteria: poisonous
Datura: poisonous, disguise, defeat
Baby's breath: poisonous, sweet love
Musk rose: referenced in A Midsummer Night's Dream, the standard garden rose of Shakespeare's time
Salix alba (willow): enchantment, love spells
Foxglove: poison, deception
Rosa carolina: love is dangerous
Bleeding heart: poisonous, love, it just looks sick as hell
Pink dahlia: femininity, love, I can't not include them
Ranunculus: attraction
Burgundy dahlia: betrayal
Rhododendron: poisonous, danger
Ranunculus sardous: madness, invitation
Sweet william: scorn, treachery, broken hearted men
Mallow: consumed by love
