Amidst the rotting Model-T Ford, a discarded dentist’s chair, old clothes and shoes: there was something special.

One corner of the yard, though, bewildered Maycomb. Against the fence, in a line, were six chipped-enamel slop jars holding brilliant red geraniums, cared for as tenderly as if they belonged to Miss Maudie Atkinson, had Miss Maudie deigned to permit a geranium on her premises. People said they were Mayella Ewell’s.Ch 17

These flowers symbolized a kindness of spirit and patience that Mayella still has. Despite all the abuse Mayella endures, there is still a sense of beauty within her.
