Then perhaps picnics on spread shrouds. Pulling petals from the narcissus just to let them float away...
Humn, what a lovely, lazy Sunday afternoon.

Curious if you get the narcissus reference?

the flower he was turned into so he could stare at his reflection in the water for eternity?

I was kind of working off the idea that he had fallen into the water and died. Pull off the petals, what makes the flower beautiful, let it float away and drown. Ah, the macabre.

Doesn't it? It would be so thin and gauzy, easily absorb the blood from the dead as well as any spilled ketchup.

I thought he died because he wouldn't leave his reflection and the nymphs named the flower that grew where he sat after him?

you are right, I read around briefly--there are variations, but in all the flowers simply grow where he died/killed himself.
I lose. Bwahaha.
