The difference is that wilt is a kind of slow death where the plant basically shrivels up, petals and all, while scatter implies a kind of death where the petals are seperated from the main stem of the plant. The latter seems a bit more of a chaotic death (I'm not sure if chaotic is the right word though....)  Could signify Adam's "descent into sociopathy", for lack of a better term. Of course, this could also imply that Adam was related to Ruby, and I'm not really willing to follow that far. It would be weird if he had a deep personal connection with someone other than Blake. Apparently Monty said Ruby and Adam are not related. In my opinion, however, 'related' has many meanings. Just because they are not blood related, does not necessarily mean that they aren't related in some other way. Mabye they know each other from way back or something, mabye they've met before, mabye he had something to do with Ruby's implied tragic past. Just saying that just because they aren't neccessarily related, doesn't mean they don't know each other somehow.

Then again, I'm personally on the 'they don't know each other' boat. Even so, given what we know for certain at this point, almost anything could be possible. Hell, he could be her big brother for all we know.
