"He wore two camellias...knew of him" (188)
Virginia Woolf explains Sally's husband, Rosetter, as wearing two camiellias on his wedding day. A camiellia is the perfect flower to wear since it resembles a union between lovers and an expressed devotion. Virginia includes the flower as a reference to show the reader that Sally's husband is very devoted to her and is not married to her for any other reason. Sally was once a wild child, but now she is married. The flowers represent their commitment to each other.
