"There with fantastic garlands did she come of crowflowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples..."    Hamelet - Act IV, scene vii

In a society closer to nature than our own, it was easy for Shakespeare to make each flower significant of something and use it for messages or quasi-superstitious purposes. Ophelia's garland of wild flowers and weeds symbolizes the circumstance of her short life:

Crowflowers - represent her maiden state
Nettles - pain and love spurned
Daisies - a reflection of her beauty
Long purples - the chill of death
