Answer: Narcissus Echo loves the narcissus flower because it reminds her to appreciate real love, which can often be messy & untidy, rather than something as superficial as the thin veneer of physical appearances.
Her sad, wistful beauty reminds me of the legend of Echo & Narcissus. Echo was an overly chatty young nymph who annoyed Juno so much that Echo was cursed to only be able to repeat the last few words of another's sentences. Echo fell hopelessly in love with a very handsome, but cruel & selfish young man called Narcissus who was quite literally unable to love anyone. When Echo saw Narcissus could never love her, she faded away with grief until nothing but her voice remained.
Because of his cruelty to Echo, Narcissus was cursed so that he would love someone who could never, ever return his affections. Leaning over a pool of water to drink, Narcissus gazed upon his own reflection and immediately fell in love with it. Each time he tried to embrace his own reflection, the surface of the water would ripple causing his beloved to disappear.
So consumed with unattainable love was Narcissus that he forgot even to eat or drink as he pined away over his own reflection, ignoring the loving Echo by his side. For his great beauty & the tragedy of their unrequited loves, Echo mourned for him and his body was magically turned into a flower, the Narcissus, that he might be remembered forever.
