In To Kill A mockingbird, what do the red geraniums symbolize?

The red geraniums that Mayella Ewell grow- are they symbolizing blood and danger because they are red, or are they symbolising that good can be in bad places, because they grow in a trash heap practically?
thankyou! x

They symbolise how Mayella wants to be different from her father but doesnt have the courage to stand up to him. But your absolutley right they symbolise both of the things that you said.
