I was reading about flower symbolism and remembered about this thread. In general, flowers and their "cup" shape are symbol of receptivity so once again it conflicted me with the flowering staves of this deck (which I still love anyway)
I checked all the suit cards, only Ace's rod has fully blossomed, in order to "understand" the function of the flower on the rod, I imagined the Ace flower is open and collecting energy from the glorious raising sun in the background, such energy is then used by already "charged" rods all along the suit. Maybe I've watched too much sci-fi
