Native Americans have seen butterflies as symbols of metamorphosis, hope, and rebirth. In Chinese culture, the symbolism of butterflies evokes the qualities of freedom, earthly beauty, love, and the human soul. Peonies also symbolize love and beauty, but also stand for honor, happiness, wealth, and romance. Clouds signify the intermediate and liminal world between the the hidden and visible, the present and the absent. They are symbolic of the element of air, as is the butterfly. Air corresponds with mental energy, thoughts, beliefs, and generally holds our cognitive experiences as humans.

According to floriography, the Iris carries meanings of faith, courage, hope, and wisdom. These associations can be traced back to Greek mythology, where Iris was the goddess of the rainbow and a messenger for Zeus and Hera. Mushrooms are associated with spiritual growth and enlightenment. The mushroom's life cycle, with its ability to emerge from darkness and decay, represents the cyclical nature of life, and especially death. Snails symbolise tolerance and perseverance.
