You are wholly incorrect about Team RWBY's weapons. Gambol Shroud does not have any link to any type of flower.

"Gambol means "to leap about playfully". A shroud, commonly a cloth, is something that conceals or protects."

I think you're thinking of the fact that Blake's symbol is a Belladonna flower.

The only theme Team RWBY has, as far as anyone can tell, is that they allude specifically to fairy tales.
