Symbolism of the chrysanthemums

edit

The chrysanthemums are a symbol of Elisa. Chrysanthemum stems are long, strong, and tough which are symbolic of Elisa's masculine qualities yet the flower itself is delicate and tender which represents the side of Elisa that is feminine. The contradictory characteristics of chrysanthemums being both strong yet beautiful epitomize how Elisa is atypical of a woman for being both masculine and feminine.
