(Did someone say offering for Maati? :3c) [A flower crown, based with the branches of sycamore and walnut, entwined with southernwood; tucked in are daisies, ragged ladies, and meadow lychnis; hidden under the larger flowers are coral honeysuckle and scarlet lychnis. A wristlet, as well, made of stems and blooms from milkvetch, linseed, and forget-me-nots; atop a leatherbound book of riddles printed with the images of clematis and kennedia flowers. It is left with a basket of figs and currants.
Ye gods, man, that’s a pile and a half of symbolism you’ve got there. Gave me a lot to chew on, so please forgive the long post!
Tumblr media
THE FLOWER CROWN
The base: oak and sycamore, twined in southernwood - curiosity, intellect and strategem, banter and jest and pain .    .   .  (dye, ink, medicine -- discernment... stalwart woods twisted up -- lad’s love and maid’s ruin) 
The adornment: daisies, ragged ladies, meadow lychnis - innocence,  wit, perplexity .  .  .  (he loves me, he loves me not; day’s eye on the graves of children -- love in a mist, burning)
The concealed message: coral honeysuckle, scarlet lychnis -  the color of my fate, sunbeaming eyes .  .  . (red, red, red -- a sweet disposition draws the honeybee)
Keen intellect entangled in sharp humor, fascination, bewilderment -- plucking petals and staring into bright eyes the sun to scry for one’s fate, bumbling closer: that these questions might have answers.
  .  .  .  For the question to be known without the asking. 
THE WRISTLET
milkvetch - Your presence softens my pains .  .  .  (nurturance, to soothe hunger)
flax - domestic industry, kindness -- utility .  .  .  (the thread of fate, not yet dried, beaten, and spun)
forget-me-not - loyalty, memory .  .  .  (feelings unaltered by distance and time)
Vines and long grasses twine and spread, encircling, entreating with upturned blue blossoms -- the past clings, haunting memories and old wounds and wishes: that the present and the future might be softer. 
  .  .  .  For comfort, persisting.
THE BOOK OF RIDDLES
The cover: clematis (leather flower) and kennedia - mental beauty, artifice
The content: riddles - the application of logic, searching for answers
Hidden meanings and man-made problems -- half of a conversation, inviting joy in engagement: that those things which are hidden might be unraveled.
  .  .  .  For time well-spent, and keen insight.
THE BASKET
Figs - argument, longevity .  .  .  (sweet interchange, seeds that stick in your teeth - born from the death of wasps; knowledge that comes at the price of innocence)
Currants - thy frown will kill me, thankfulness .  .  .  (tartness, astringency gentled by sweetness - oft served with lamb, to cut through the fat)
Produce of the age-old garden: wisdom through questioning, probing, contrast and comparison -- a revelation, unsettling: that these labors might bear fruit.
  .  .  . For delight in one’s work.
The blessing granted...?
Maati’s priest does her best to dissuade the petitioner from leaving flowers. Written words would be a better offering: have you not listened to the doctrine? she chides, baffled.
Come back again when you can speak plainly, she says. Maybe then Maati will hear your request.
The flowers are confiscated, and the petitioner is sent away with fruit and book still in hand. 
-----
The flowers end up in the compost bin: the crown molders away, but the wristlet is retrieved by a kitchen maid. She unweaves it, separating the components and hanging them to dry. Moons later, the forget-me-nots are worked into an incense blend burned in the sanctuary.
Meanwhile, the book of riddles meets a strange fate: the cover’s leather peels away in the petitioner’s hand, the glue having apparently gone brittle. When the body of the book hits the ground, several of the leaves end up folding in on themselves, almost as if they have been dog-eared. In the frustrating process of trying to unbend them, the petitioner cannot help but notice that the riddles on the folded pages all seem to be based on double-entendres. Here’s one such:
First you jerk me by my ear Then kiss me on the lips. You say I'm hot and hold me near, Then laugh that I lack shapely hips.
Up and down your silly game Your passion stirred already, Whether mood be light or dark - Just try to hold me steady!
As for the fruits... perhaps they were eaten, even enjoyed?
---------------
Why the rejection? 
Maati would be familiar with the symbolic meanings, of course - the Ul’dahn upper classes are all for the blatant display of wealth and coy deniability that floriography entails, and botanical motifs are naturally very common in art, architecture, and design. However, she hates the idea of spending exorbitant amounts of money and time to encode and decode a message -- and dislikes both vague flattery and veiled threats, furthermore. She maintains that if a message is fit to be conveyed, then it should be given in plain text -- then, at least, it can be catalogued and analyzed and brought out again and again. She retains these same feelings as the deity of argument and rhetoric.
(This ended up SO long that I will go into Maati-as-deity’s properties in another ask response.)

Hello there! One of my greatest interests is Flower Language, so finding out about this account has been a godly blessing for me! I was wondering if there were any flowers that represent childhood, or any of the traits related to it (such as wonder, playfulness, awe, joy, innocence, sensitivity, etc). I want to make a representation of an adult with an inner child in a story I’m writing. Thank you!
One of the many meanings of cinquefoil is beloved child, however, mostly it meant beloved daughter or maternal affection, so there is a distinct female association and that of a mother’s love before anything with this one. And primroses stand for childhood, early youth (and sadness) but they can also mean early grief, modest worth and I can’t live without you woman. – Childhood is also one of the many meanings of sweet William, other than that it also stands for gallantry, finesse, scorn and grant me one smile.
The traits are a little easier to cover since flower language is very adaptable to associations like these. So I’ve made a list. Hope you’ll find something useful for your character!
almond (flowering) – hope
amethyst – admirations
celandine – joys to come, future joy
daisy – innocence, beauty and innocence, beauty, loyal love, purity, I’ll never tell
elder flower – zealousness, compassion
fool’s parsley – silliness
gerbera – innocence
hawthorn – hope
heather (white) – good luck, protection, wishes will come true
herb archangel – inspiration
holly herb – enchantment
hyacinth – game play, play, sport, games, sport & games, rashness, jealousy
hyacinth (pink) – playful joy
hyacinth (red) – playful joy
hyacinth (wild) – play
impatiens – impatience
lilac (white) – youthful innocence, youth
lychnis (scarlet) – sunbeaming eyes, sun-beam’d eyes
marvel of peru – timidity
mimosa – sensitiveness
oregano – joy
osier – frankness
peppermint – warmth of feeling
pink (musk) – childishness
poinsettia – be of good cheer
rose (orange) – fascination
rose (purple) – enchantment
salvia (red) – energy
sorrel (wood) – joy
vervain – enchantment
