“Mother” is one of my favorite kinds of fandom art: SNEAKY fandom! It depicts a bouquet of seven flowers, each a different color to represent one of the ajahs found in Wheel of Time. A Blue iris, a Green zinnia, a Yellow marigold, a Red snapdragon, a Grey silver brunia, a White anemone, and a Brown lily. The bouquet is tied together by a corresponding stole and framed with a golden Flame of Tar Valon, representing the Amyrlin Seat as both a mother (eh, get it?) of and uniting force between the ajahs in the White Tower . While not every flower contains specific symbolism, a few do! Marigolds have medicinal properties and thus represent the healers of the yellow ajah. In Victorian Flower Language, snapdragons represent “presumption.” In Victorian times, maidens wore snapdragons in their hair to signal that they were not interested in unsolicited attention from men, making them a perfect flower to represent the red ajah! Plus, the name says it all!
