pink flowers are a symbol of love, and the color is very closely related to and associated with purple, the color of violets. but i didn't want to base the term on the famous sapphic flower, as it's likely that's been done multiple times before already. camellias in particular are seen as a way to tell someone you miss them, which i personally vaguely tie to the sorrowful idea that febfem was in theory a decent idea, but it was made in bad faith and is used in bad faith. (source)

i'm not sure if you noticed, but the flag's scheme subtly reflects both the sapphic and bi colors together - that was intentional. :)

i predict not everyone will agree with my idea to coin this, but i don't see anything wrong with sapph4sapph just because we're not lesbians. i simply consider it an extension of the preference system bisexuals have. some, like me, may only prefer to date girls. you do not have to associate yourself as reclamations of febfems either, or have anything to do with them. i would rather camellian be seen as its own unique identity label. you also do not have to use it just because it may apply to you.

i would also like it to be known as an extra note that sapphilleans who wish to be included, are. if you consider yourself such but only want to be in sapphic relationships, that's valid!! it does not erase your attraction to men and/or achillian identity if you do not want it to.

by the way, here are the flower .pngs on their own:

Pastel Bi (same meaning as OG bi flag) 🩷💜💙

Bi4Bi (bisexual who dates fellow bi’s) 🩵🌙💜

Selenic (specific to bi wlw/bi sapphics) 💜🌙🤍

Bi dyke (selenics who reclaim dyke) 💜💛❤️

Bihet (selenics who reclaim bihet) 🩷🖤💙💜

Camellian (selenics choosing saph4saph) 🩷🌸💜

Bi femme (a bi who is femme) ❤️🩷💜

*places this in your hand and runs away* :D

Bisexual (pastel version, edited by me)

Camellian (a bi woman/bi sapphic who dates fellow sapphics exclusively; acknowledges attraction to men but chooses to not act upon it- basically a trans/nb inclusive vers. of febfem!)

Bi Dyke (bisexual woman/bisexual sapphic who chooses to reclaim the slur dyke)

Bi femme (a bi who is femme)

Selenic (any bisexual sapphic, regardless if they are dating a woman, a man, an nb, or single. Any bisexual wlw + nblw)

just when women thought they had their own label, TIMS had to fuck it up because they hate women so much

camellian is simply an alternative term to align with a different group of politics for the sake of personal comfort rather than one that actively tries to compete in a ”this town ain’t big enough for the both of us” sort of way, especially since i’ve known many bi sapphics who only wish to date other sapphics but don’t want to be directly associated with febfems. if you can’t understand this then unfortunately i don’t know what to tell you.

and also, i don’t know what made you assume i’m a transfem rather than an AFAB person who simply doesn’t hate transgender identities but i find that really funny regardless!
