Question

>>what kind of flower is in the cover of Stephenie Meyer's 'New Moon'?and what is its significance??

Answer 1

Yes, i would love to find what type of flower it is, too. But SM only chose the Twilight cover; the publishers chose the rest of the covers. Perhaps they wanted to stay with the red, white and black theme.

Answer 2

it is a ruffled tulip

but according to stephenie meyers website the flower was chosen by her publishing company so she doesn't really know the significance

Answer 3

That is a ruffled tulip. As for the meaning... If you've read the Twilight FAQ, you know that the apple cover had a lot of meaning for me, and I was an active part of the covering process. However, that experience is more the exception than the rule in the publishing world. Something to keep in mind if you intend to embark on a career as a writer: lots of things you might expect to be under your control are not. Covers, for example. Those are mostly up to the publisher and the marketing and sales departments. So I don't know what the tulip means—I didn't have anything to do with this one.
