Wip question:
What flower would you use to represent your main character of your wip you touched most recently?
[you can get fancy with language of flowers or arbitrary just by color or smell or something else]
Thank you for the ask!!
I’m working on a scene between Katniss and Haymitch and because saying Katniss feels like cheating, I’m going to answer for Haymitch.
I can’t explain it, but my first thought for Haymitch was:
Mountain Laurel
…
And after some research, here’s what I’ve got.
Mountain Lauren can be found in the woods from New England to the Florida panhandle - including the Appalachian range where they grow as trees rather than bushes and thickets are referred to as ‘Laurel Hells’
Mountain Laurels were named for their resemblance to the laurels found in the Mediterranean that were often used to weave crowns as symbols of Victory
The Mountain Laurel symbolizes perseverance because they can survive in tough habitats. They can also symbolize trickery. Either because their aesthetically pleasing but poisonous or because they grow in dense thickets that make it difficult to climb or be push through (hence the nickname)
