Moth Orchid

Phalaenopsis amabilis is a species of plant in the Orchidaceae family, It is native to Maritime Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and Australia. It grows well with bright indirect light, vary well-draining "soil" such as bark or sphagnum moss, watering around once a week(DO NOT USE DAMN ICECUBES) and high humidity.

The word "orchid" comes from the Greek word for testicle, and the orchiectomy is a common surgery performed on intersex infants –especially those with androgen insensitivity syndrome– the orchid flower is symbolic of intersexuality and of opposition to non-consensual genital surgery.

Mexican Morning Glory

Ipomoea tricolor is a species of plant in the family Convolvulaceae, native to the tropics of the Americas, and widely cultivated and naturalized elsewhere. It grows well with full sun, well-draining soil, and about an inch of water per week.

Though both roses and forget-me-nots are more common transgender symbols, they are most often used specifically in the context of transgender remembrance. So I felt it would more appropriate to use a different flower, I chose Morning Glory do to its transitional nature and flowers' colours.

Sicilian Snapdragon(2x)

Antirrhinum siculum is a species of perennial plant native to Malta, Italy which has spread throughout the Mediterranean. It grows well with Full sun, well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter, and regularly watering allows the soil to dry out between.

A reddit user claims that there was a medieval trend of ladies wearing snapdragon in their hair to signal they were not interested in unsolicited attention from men. However we were unable to find any actual sources about that. Still, I do like the idea of snapdragons representing aromanticism.

Also I made a version with the older flag because I used colours from it on the flowers.

German garlic, like many plants in the genus Allium, are capable of asexual reproduction, that combined with their purple colouration, make them a fitting symbol for asexual spectrum.
