On the photo of the Bill Clinton and Kim Jong Il,
I think it is the Chairs not the flowers. In the other photos of Il and his cohorts the chairs look like mahogany sort of standard chairs that had a pumpkin colored cloth on them. these chairs are oak with a blue cloth and heavier with carved legs. I think they are Masonic chairs and there was probably some sort of Masonic meaning behind the image. the fact that they are on top of the Lotus flower which also symbolizes the female reproductive organ seems to send some sort of signal to those in the Masonic know… just my two cents.
