If Hamlet were to send flowers to Gertrude he would send a bouquet of columbine for faithlessness, rue for adultery with Claudius, and Roses for her to remeber his father. Thsi would be a messag to her that would read-"remeber my father, while you are faithless to him and commit adultery with my uncle, his brother"
In Act IV, scene iv Ophelia fits into the garden motif by using dead things like bones and weeds to hand out as flowers. Like the other "garden" refences it has a sense of death or rotting. Others scences do this as well when refering to a garden they say it is rotting.
