Just for fun I decided to look up the hanakotoba meanings for the new covers:

White spider lily for Yato is tricky, as I can only find the red variety with the meaning of "sad memories", "resignation", "reunion", "thinking only of you", and "I look forward to seeing you again."

Sakura for Hiyori, meaning "purity" and "outstanding beauty."

A variety of spider chrysanthemum for Yukine, meaning "noble/exalted", "virtuous", and "refined."

Bishamon looks to be peony, with the meaning of "style", "wealth and rank", "shyness."

Kazuma has Japanese wisteria, meaning "tender", "welcome", "never leave", "intoxicated by love."

Takemikazuchi's is the iris sanguinea, meaning "good news", "I believe in you", "determination", "gentle heart", "elegant" or "graceful", and "confidence in".

Kiun is represented by the yellow iris, meaning "seize happiness", "I'M fired up", "happiness of a believer", and "friendship."

Given her relation to water as a mizuko, Mizuchi/Nora's is appropriately the water lily, bearing the meaning "love that fades away", "eloquence", "pure heart", "please save me", "sacredness", and "composure."

While not part of the hanakotoba, Father's is naturally "kaya" or imperata cylindrica, a grass known to good for thatching on roofs and believed to be good at warding off evil spirits due to its sharp, spear-like leaves.
