Flower in the cup

A flower brings gentle news: affection, attention, something lovely arriving unannounced. In bloom, it speaks of feelings finally showing themselves; a bud, of something still preparing to speak. Several flowers together paint a celebration or a gathering. It doesn't promise big things — it promises warmth, and sometimes that's exactly what was missing.

Position changes the tone: nearer the rim speaks of what is close, nearer the bottom of what is further off; a clearer shape speaks louder than a faint one.
