Representative flowers in Motm and their meaning. Part 2/2
An anonymous asked me to analyze this post from @nortsauce, date post: February 12 this year.
Important! :nort does not clarify that this has a literary or narrative meaning?
But! an anonymous person asks me for it, and if the people ask for blood it is my duty to spill it!
The first part is already posted on my blog before this one!
Mickey and the Hyacinths:
Desc: Hyacinth is a genus of perennial and bulbous plants belonging to the subfamily Sciloides within the asparagaceae. It is native to the Mediterranean region and southern Africa.
Appearance: they are of many colors, have dense flower spurs In the form of bells or star, They measure between 20-25 cm With deep green foliage.
In Greek culture the hyacinth flower has its own myth origin:
"Hyakinthos was a very attractive and handsome prince, that he get the attention of Zephyrus (god of the west wind) and Apollos (god of the sun) , Hyakinthos chose Apollo, which made Zephyrus jealous.
one day while Apollo and Hyakinthos were playing a game called "quoits", Zephyrus watched them play... Jealous, when Apollo throw the discs, Zephyrus caused a gust of wind and the disc hit Hyakintho's head, hurting him.
Apollo tried to save him, but Hyakinthos died on his arms and from the blood spilled on the ground emerged... The hyacinth.
The flower was named by Apollo to remember his beloved. In addition, he did not know that the guilty was Zephyrus, and he blame himself for Hyakinthos death"
From this myth is that the flower is associated with jealousy.
These can also be associated with sincere love and the desire for forgiveness, especially blue hyacinths.
Note: if you touch these flowers directly they can itritate your skin, they are somewhat toxic, But not so much, you have to be careful.
Oswald and the Forget-Me-Nots:
Info: Myosotis, commonly known as forget-me-nots, is a genus of plants in the family Boraginaceae Most species are endemic to New Zealand, although there are two European species, especially M. sylvatica which has spread throughout temperate regions of Europe, Asia and the Americas.
Desc: They are in small bouquets, surrounded by flowers of a blue color, they are small flowers of one centimeter. These cover the branches and give it a very beautiful appearance.
The name Myosotis, It comes from the Greek: 'mys' is mouse and 'otos' is ear, and means 'Mouse ear'. (What a coincidence that Oswald's brother is also a mouse, right?)
Popularly also known as 'the desperate lover" and 'eternal love'. And the name of Forget-Me Not comes from many myths of the Middle Ages.
the one of the most popular is a France/German legend:
"A knight who was with his beloved near a river. He saw the flower in the river, he approached to pick them up and give them to his lady, but he fell into the river, and before disappearing in the current he threw the flower to his beloved and just say. 'Don't forget me!'" (How cheesy but I love it)
It was also common these flower was like a promise, the Knights given this flower to their ladys before leave for their battles as an promise they would return. (in this case Oswald is the lady lol, but Ortensia did not return. Maybe)
Note: these are also flowers that represent a memorial or remembrance for deceased family members, as a reminder to never forget those people.
Felix and Middlemist camelias:
Info: The genus Camellia groups between 100 and 250 species (Not the exact number) of flowering plants native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast Asia, China and Japan
Desc: are shrubs and trees that can reach 10 m in height. With evergreen foliage, its leaves are leathery, of a glossy dark green, entire, pointed and with entire or slightly serrated edges.
This type of camelia is the rarest in the world, so they represent rarity in themselves. Being that it is extinct in the wild and only survives in specialized crops. (This was because it was a very beautiful flower and its overconsumption caused rhe flower to disappear in its homeland. China.)
These are also a symbol of beauty, they are of an intense red color and their particular shape and leaves is what makes them a symbol of beauty.
They also represent survival, even though they have been extinct for many years and far from their natural habit they still continue to spread and preserve themselves. Being a symbol of overcoming despite the difficulties.
Note: Camellias can live up to 100 years in good care. Also Felix is the oldest cartoon! , he was created in 1919 And Oswald in 1928. Touche stupid bros. Besides Felix is not as forgotten as Oswald.
Sheba and the sunflowers:

Their center of origin is in North America, where they grow adapted to diverse habitats and highly variable in terms of morphological and physiological characteristics.
Desc: can be three meters high. The stems are generally erect and swaphid. Most of the leaves are caulinear, alternate, petiolate, with a cordiform base and serrated edges.
symbolize life, because of their shape and nature that goes hand in hand with the sun, a source of life in many cultures.
They are associated with happiness for the prominent amount of yellow on their petals. In addition, as they are tall and strong, they are associated with strength too.
In addition, in the history the sunflower has been used as a symbol for social liberal movements, resistance and solidarity. like in the French Revolution, citizens wore red and blue ribbons with yellow sunflowers embroidered on them to show their support for freedom.

(Pebble hasn't even been in the comic yet! But I didn't want to leave him out, so as shelly I'll just focus on the meaning of the plant and hope to hit something in the future.)
In Greek this flower means "golden flower", Chrys," which means "gold," and "Antemion," which means "flower."
In Asia this flower symbolizes life and longevity,It is a plant that reproduces easily and when it does it does not need much care making it one of the most cultivated in the world.
