Here's a list of flowers I saw in the PV, with their meanings in brackets:

Red Rose (To fall in love)
Azalea (Patient/Modest)
White Camellia (Longing)
Lavender Rose (Love at first sight in the Victorian language, nothing in Hanakotoba)
Fern (In Folklore, ferns are often used to grant riches and treasure)
Sunflower (Pure and lofty thoughts in the Victorian language, nothing in Hanakotoba)
Black Rose (Rejuvenation or death in the Victorian language, nothing in Hanakotoba)
Ivy (Dependence in the Victorian language, nothing in Hanakotoba)
I didn't see different types of flowers in the pv because they flashed in and out quickly. But while watching the pv I saw the sunflower on the tv and wonder what it symbolized. After reading your post I think there are more hidden meanings in the pv. Even tho I dunno anything about flower languages, the meaning of each flower is an quite interesting topic .

And I love ImpactBreaker's analysis of the matches.
