Flower+Symbolism

Flower Symbolism in //Hamlet// Act IV
By Act IV, scene v, it seems as though poor Ophelia's completely lost the plot. She shows up, her "wits...as mortal as an old man's life" (V.v.183-184), singing and handing out flowers to the characters on stage.

Directions
In your small groups, [|research your assigned flower]. Find out what social, medicinal, or other symbolic meaning it has (or once had), and create a subpage of this wiki with the following:
 * 1) An appropriate title/heading
 * 2) At least 3 pictures of your flower, preferably all different in some way
 * 3) A description of your flower's symbolic value (with **4-6 linked** sources, excluding Wikipedia)
 * 4) A description of who your group believes Ophelia hands the flower to, and a brief (5-7 sentence) rationale for support
 * 5) For Willows, Crowflowers, and Long Purples, identify a possible recipient (these flowers don't appear in 4.5)
