** Narcissa Malfoy, née Black, is named after the Narcissus genus of flowers, which in turn takes its name from the Greek mythological figure that fell in love with his own reflection. While this does allude to her obsession with status and blood purity, it's been pointed out by fans that while most Black family members are named after stars, Narcissa's name and her willingness to do anything to protect her family - especially her son, Draco - makes her more similar to Harry's mother Lily than might be assumed. [[spoiler:During the Battle of Hogwarts, Narcissa even successfully lies to Voldermort about Harry's death, as she no longer cares which side wins, only about protecting her son.]]

I noticed a lot of the examples on-page need to be moved to more specific tropes. I don't have the brain space right now for that, so for now I'm putting a list of more specific flower motifs to at least discourage new additions.

A character's garden will also give the audience an impression of their personality, usually in conjunction with the state of their house or personal appearance. A garden that is extremely well kept, but with few or no flowers in it, suggests an orderly but clinical personality; a garden overgrown with weeds might suggest a cynic who doesn't see the beauty in life anymore, while a disorganized but thriving garden full of flowers probably belongs to a cheerful and badly-organized owner.
