Anton and VViews: I hadn't noticed yet that the rightmost "curl" is attached to the left flower. The lines above it do indeed look like some kind of smoke. While this might be part of the solution, I wouldn't call it a clear-cut answer though.
First, flowers themselves generally don't give off a large cloud of smoke. You say it might symbolize scent, but I suspect this is anachronistic. Was "pleasant scent" ever represented as a visible cloud before modern cartoons? (I don't know, but the question seems important in this context).
And if it's actual visible smoke, like from incense, which flowers might they be? And why does the smoke shape like that? Smoke will flare out towards the top, not converge in a pyramid shape. And why has the design been made symmetrical, with a curl descending on the other side as well?
