Flora was the Roman goddess of flowers, plants, and fertility. She was celebrated each coming of spring during the Floralia festival where celebrators released hares and deer into the wild as symbols of fertility. She is often depicted with various flowers and plants. Ceres was the Roman goddess of motherly love and grain. She strived for political equality and anyone who brought harm upon the Tribune of the Plebs had to surrender their life to Ceres. She is often depicted with poppy flowers, symbolizing life and death, due to poppies growing in grain fields.
