This is very specific to the culture you live in, and to the Victorian era (1832-1907).  Also remember most people, as in maybe 1 in 10,000 will even have the thought of understanding or thinking of the meaning of a specific flower.  Presuming you live in the U.S. these are thought to be the representations.\n\n* Daffodil : respect and admiration\n* Mum : bronze excitement;red sharing & love;white truth;yellow secret admirer\n* Poinsettia : asking for “Be Of Good Cheer”\n* rattan : ?\n* Chrysanthemum : friendship; red love; white truth;yellow slighted love\n\nThe color is more important then the type of flower:\nRed love, passion, lust\nPink happiness, love\nWhite  purity, innocence, pure love (not eros, but pathos or philia)\nYellow  friendship; or slighted love; or secret love

It's a kind of flower(?) "Heddle Flower"\nBut then when I look up "heddle", all I get is a loom or a heddle loom to be precise. So maybe an 'emboidered flower'?

I have not read crime and punishment, but in general this is what you need to know to find symbols:\n\nLook for recurring items (a type of flower, or maybe there is a lot of water in the books, or phases of the moon are often mentioned).\n\nIf you find things like these, they may be symbols. To determine what they mean, you can ask on yahoo answers, search google for "plant symbology orchids" (or whatever, depending on what symbols you come up with). Or, if you feel adventurous, think about properties of that thing and apply them to the book (e.g. water flows and washes, so it could be a symbol for spiritual renewal, or maybe the passage of time or a great journey.)\n\nGood luck! Sorry I couldn't be more help....

well, did the person who gave her a flower do something to upset her? If so, thats probably why she tore it up. Ask the friend why, and tell her she should forgive the friend.

The Rose - United States National Flower\n\nThe term rose is applied to numerous shrubs and vines in the genus Rosa. They come in a variety of colors, have a fragrant scent and thorns on their stems. The rose has been favored by many everywhere. The edible petals have been added to salads and used in medicines since the times of antiquity. It was sacred to Aphrodite. It is the national flower of the United States. It is the official flower of New York State. The wild rose is the Iowa State flower and the prairie rose the state flower of North Dakota. The American Beauty is the flower of the District of Columbia. The rose is also the emblem of England. Two of the most famous roses are the white rose that served as the emblem for the house of York and the red rose for the house of Lancaster in the Wars of the Roses. For a brief sojourn of the official flowers of the various states click here.\n\nThe Making of the National Floral Emblem\n\nSeptember 23, 1986, the House of Representatives passed a joint resolution naming the rose as the "national floral emblem" of the United States. The Senate had passed the resolution in 1985.\n\nThe measure then went to President Ronald Reagan. He signed the resolution into law on October 7, 1986 in a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden.\n\nOn November 20, 1986, President Reagan signed Proclamation 5574: The National Floral Emblem of the United States of America: The Rose. (Note: a proclamation announces an act by the government; it does not have the effect of law.)\n\nSources:\n"President Rose To The Occasion", San Jose Mercury News, October 8, 1986, p. 6A\nFacts on File, 1986 p. 774\nChase's Annual Events, 1988 p. 284\nVanderbilt University. Television News Archive.\n\nBelow is listed a copy of both the U.S. law that proclaims the rose as the National Flower, and the Proclamation made by the President of the United Sates of America, that the law requested be written. \n\n \n\n \nUNITED STATES CODE\nTITLE 36. PATRIOTIC SOCIETIES AND OBSERVANCES\nCHAPTER 10--PATRIOTIC CUSTOMS\n\n \n\ns 187. National floral emblem\n\nThe flower commonly known as the rose is designated and adopted as the national floral emblem of the United States of America, and the President of the United States is authorized and requested to declare such fact by proclamation.\n\n(Pub.L. 99-449, Oct. 7, 1986, 100 Stat. 1128.)\n\n \n\nProclamation No. 5574. The Rose Proclaimed the National\nFloral Emblem of the United States of America\n\nProc. No. 5574. Nov. 20, 1986, 51 F.R. 42197, provided:\n\nAmericans have always loved the flowers with which God decorates our land. More often than any other flower, we hold the rose dear as the symbol of life and love and devotion, of beauty and eternity. For the love of man and woman, for the love of mankind and God, for the love of country, Americans who would speak the language of the heart do so with a rose.\n\nWe see proofs of this everywhere. The study of fossils reveals that the rose has existed in America for age upon age. We have always cultivated roses in our gardens. Our first President, George Washington, bred roses, and a variety he named after his mother is still grown today. The White House itself boasts a beautiful Rose Garden. We grow roses in all our fifty States. We find roses throughout our art, music, and literature. We decorate our celebrations and parades with roses. Most of all, we present roses to those we love, and we lavish them on our altars, our civil shrines, and the final resting places of our honored dead.\n\nThe American people have long held a special place in their hearts for roses. Let us continue to cherish them, to honor the love and devotion they represent, and to bestow them on all we love just as God has bestowed them on us.\n\nThe Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 159 [Pub.L. 99.449, Oct. 7, 1986, 100 Stat. 1128, which enacted this section], has designated the rose as the National Floral Emblem of the United States and a

Everything is messed up.\nFair (good) is foul (bad).\nFair can mean beautiful (fairest in the land) and foul can mean stinking.  So everything that is good is bad and everything bad is good and things are just totally messed up. (or will be, since this is from the witches at the beginning of the play)
