He is not a good artist. Look at the killer's left hand pinky. Bad art.

"The significance assigned to specific flowers in Western culture varied — nearly every flower had multiple associations, listed in the hundreds of floral dictionaries — but a consensus of meaning for common blooms has emerged. Often, definitions derive from the appearance or behavior of the plant itself. For example, the mimosa, or sensitive plant, represents chastity. This is because the leaves of the mimosa close at night, or when touched. Likewise, the deep red rose and its thorns have been used to symbolize both the blood of Christ and the intensity of romantic love, while the rose's five petals are thought to illustrate the five crucifixion wounds of Christ. Pink roses imply a lesser affection, white roses suggest virtue and chastity, and yellow roses stand for friendship or devotion. The black rose (actually a very dark shade of red, purple, or maroon) has a long association with death and dark magic.[7]
In literature[edit]
William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Charlotte and Emily Bronte, and children's novelist Frances Hodgson Burnett, among others, used the language of flowers in their writings.
I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lull’d in these flowers with dances and delight;
-
A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 2, Scene 1
A field of wildflowers
Shakespeare used the word "flower" more than 100 times in his plays and sonnets.[8] In Hamlet, Ophelia mentions and explains the symbolic meaning of pansies, rosemary, fennel, columbine, rue, daisy, and violets.[9] In The Winter's Tale, the princess Perdita wishes that she had violets, daffodils, and primroses to make garlands for her friends. In A Midsummer Night's Dream, Oberon talks to his messenger Puck amidst a scene of wild flowers.[10]
Chuck Palahniuk's 1999 novel Survivor features a discussion of Victorian flower language.
A yellow chrysanthemum
Flowers are also often used as a symbol of femininity. John Steinbeck's short story "The Chrysanthemums" centers completely around the yellow florets, which are often associated with optimism and lost love. When the protagonist, Elisa, finds her beloved chrysanthemums tossed on the ground, her hobby and womanhood has been ruined; this suffices the theme of lost appreciation and femininity in Steinbeck's work.[11]
In 2009, Vanessa Diffenbaugh published a New York Times-bestselling novel centered on floriography, The Language of Flowers, as well as her own flower dictionary.[12]
In art[edit]
Ophelia by John Everett Millais (1852) is part of the Tate Gallery collection. His painting influenced the image in Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet
Several Anglican churches in England have paintings, sculpture, or stained glass windows of the lily crucifix, depicting Christ crucified on or holding a lily. One example is a window at The Clopton Chantry Chapel Church in Long Melford, Suffolk, England, UK.
The Victorian Pre-Raphaelites, a group of 19th-century painters and poets who aimed to revive the purer art of the late mediaeval period, captured classic notions of beauty romantically. These artists are known for their idealistic portrayal of women, emphasis on nature and morality, and use of literature and mythology. Flowers laden with symbolism figure prominently in much of their work. John Everett Millais, a founder of the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood, used oils to create pieces filled with naturalistic elements and rich in floriography. His painting Ophelia (1852) depicts Shakespeare's drowned stargazer floating amid the flowers she describes in Act IV, Scene V of Hamlet.
Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose (1885–86), Tate Britain, London
The Edwardian artist John Singer Sargent spent much time painting outdoors in the English countryside, frequently utilizing floral symbolism. Sargent's first major success came in 1887, with Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose, a large piece painted on site in the plein air manner, of two young girls lighting lanterns in an English garden.
Are those purple flowers Forget-me-nots?
"Uses for the Forget-Me-Not Flower
Even though you are going to find that the Forget-Me-Not is a small flower, it packs a big punch. This is a flower that is gorgeous and has a lot of history to it. You aren’t going to use it as the main flower in a bouquet, but it is a great flower to add to a bouquet with it. You can also use it for different boutonnieres and corsages. There are also a lot of groups that use it; the Freemasons used the Forget-Me-Not so that they were able to remember lost fellow masons that were part of the Nazi regime and the victims of that."
True, a lot of poor artists just hide them. But, basic anatomy, which an artist is supposed to study, would tell you that the knuckles do not line up in a perfect row, especially not the pinky. You can just observe that on your own hand.
