I’m pretty sure those are South African proteas— the large flowers embroidered on her jacket. To be exact, they look like Protea repens, which also goes by the name sugarbush in South Africa.
There is even an Afrikaans folk song that invokes the sugarbush as a metaphor for a sweet love obsession:

Wat sal jou mamma daarvan sê?
Dan loop ons so onderdeur die maan (3x)

Translation: Sugarbush, I want you so (3x) | Wat will your mama say about that? | Then we’ll walk beneath the moon (3x) | My Sugarbush and I, together.
