I've always seen the flowers on the Page/Cups tunic as being tulips.
Tulips in general mean 'the perfect lover' and if the tulips be pink/red they signify an 'earnest declaration of love'

Gloria.

I agree with Gloria, I think they're tulips, the flower of love.

Love and light

I associate the flowers with blooming dreams on the page of cups.

Seeing as Book T gives the title of this card as;

"The Princess of the Waters: the Lotus of the Palace of the Floods."

it seems they are lotuses.

......or maybe they are lilies! They too would enhance the idea of fertility and romance.

Welcome Vincent.

I agree.

No perhaps about it... definitely (water) lilies.
