The result of this impressive flower invasion was a society that took a historical turn from which the results still remain today. Flower merchants, botanists and floral still life artists, were occupations that were an accurate reflection of the Netherlands demands (Brown).

Rachel Ruyschs’ career straddled the 17th and 18th century, and her stunningly accurate floral pieces reflect the maturing, yet evolving art of floral still life painting (“Rachel Ruysch: Bibliography”). Ruyschs’ Still Life with Flowers on a Marble Tabletop (1716) is an excellent example of a painting that appropriately represents the genre of art that was created solely through specific societal events.

So who has been manipulating who? The tulip in its part has given us the desire of beauty, while we in turn select for the most beautiful. We have instead been living a relation of co-evolution as explained by Pollan. Nomadic hunters relied on distinguishing flowers to get to future fruits before others. Also the vibrant colors tulips produced genetically, favored us to choose certain strains. Flowers in some way have been domesticating us to choose their strains. Plants related their flowers beauty to successive reproduction and thus evolved its flower to adjust to human desire. Flowers indeed have manipulated humans to fit their pollination needs.

The white blossoms within the chrysanthemum show both beauty and independence. I grew up around various people who taught me to be elegant and have composure no matter who I am around.

While she was gone, I often was with my grandparents. I was around older people throughout my childhood which allowed me to become more self-reliant at a younger age than most children.

While I personally see it as a destruction of childhood innocence, I do recognize that the standards of beauty was the main issue given Pecola’s obsession for blue eyes and how she was regarded as ugly even in the eyes of other wealthier black people. Morrison did right to use the flower as a symbolism for not only beauty, but life as well. The catch is that flowers need nurturing like a child, but Pecola never received this from her parents.
