Is there a masculine type flower or plant for a boy?

I am going to have a painting done that will include my baby boys hand and feet prints (somewhat hidden). This is done by placing the prints within a flower.


My son is Mexican. Is there a flower or plant that I can use in the painting tht does not look too girly?


He was born in August.

Reply:No such thing as a girly flower to me-even men like flowers. My nearest guess to a manly flower would be a foxglove digitalis-now maybe a rose would be a little girly!
