Maybe. She says she received the flowers shown in panel 1 from a parishioner, so the flowers shown in panel 3 could just be similar ones, there to highlight how she misunderstands their purpose in that situation, not to imply that she actually took them.
Yes, I believe she mentions the flowers she has were given to her from someone. Then she goes further on to say that whenever she see's that someone has nicely arranged flowers on the corners of streets that have poor visibility causing murasa to retort how its not the intended use of the flowers. Then the last panel I think is a different flower as well that she found so to speak that are the used tissues.
Ichirin only arranges 'em one to a vase. Ichirin-zashi, a vase for one flowerMarigolds Blossom Kinsenka Saku, one of the "72 climates" of the solar year. This one corresponds to about Nov. 17 - Nov. 21, early winter, when narcissus/daffodil flowers bloom. (Despite this, the flower named in the title is clearly translated as "marigold"....)Ooh, daffodils!Just those flowers alone are enough to brighten up the place.So who pulled off this bit of feminine style...?Come to think of it, I'm not sure when we received these......but arranged flowers are wonderful because they also express one's sympathy.How did you know?It was just a joke.We got them from a parishioner.I arranged them.Wild flowers are nice...It makes me all warm inside to see flowers dedicated on street corners with poor visibility.Okay! Let's report 'em!That's not likely why they're there, Hijiri!!...but they're rose(?)-like objects made from extremely thin paper.And they have this mysterious smell of chestnut blossoms...
