Flowers alone don't have much symbolism. It's mainly attached to specific types of flowers (roses, carnations, etc.) as opposed to just... flowers. Try finding a field guide at your library, and if you can find out what kind of flowers they are, then finding out whether there's any symbolism behind them is pretty easy. (Googling "flower symbolism (name of flower)" will probably bring it up quickly.
