it's not just actually the flower ... the tree as well, with its spreading branches that reach to the skies (and deep roots that go downward to the Underworld), is considered a symbol for the middle world ... and later when islam came to southeast asia with its prohibition of representation of images man and animals, then all the more that the flower and trees theme became prominent ...
