Topics Continued

I planned to go with the types of flowers there are, and Mr Vincent suggested to me to maybe try and explain about flower symbolism, and why some are used for certain occasions in different cultures or religions. Here's a list I gathered of the flowers and their meanings in Chinese culture:

But after going home and doing some research, I found out that flower symbolism isn't only all about favorable meanings, some of them also represent things on the other end of the spectrum- negative meanings. So I decided to work on a project that shows the other side of what flowers are infamous for- having meanings, and showing that not all flowers hold favorable meanings. Based on Mr Vincent's feedback, it will be a book with photographs of the flowers being displayed against the background in a way that will portray it's particular negative symbolism.
