Does anyone know what does the red flower on the cover of new moon book mean?

The flower for New Moon is a ruffled tulip. It represents Bella, and how she wilts, but does not die in the experience in New Moon. It is meant to show strenghth, and beauty. The red parts are meant to symbolise her blood, where she smashes the bowl the flowers were in. It was a turning point.(:

Since this is the one and only cover that Stephenie didn't have a hand in... no one knows. It just looks pretty.

You can read it in the twilight saga: the official illustrated guide
