Flower Symbolism In The Great Gatsby
The flowers represent Gatsby already experiencing his moment with Daisy in the past, and how Gatsby still tries to recreate their doomed relationship even when itś broken and dead. Five years ago Gatsby was walking with Daisy on an autumn night. He wanted to kiss her but he knew he would bind himself to her and his path for life would go to a new direction.¨Then he kissed her. At his lipś touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete¨ (Fitzgerald 111) Daisy blossoming after Gatsby kissing her represents the ending of their relationship. They already had their moment together, and after Daisy blossomed, they won't be able to recreate that moment. This is why after Gatsbyś party he walks around feeling disappointed.
