Zuzu's petals

[Becky]

A phrase from the 1946 movie Its a Wonderful Life. The petals belong to [Zuzu] Bailey, the youngest daughter of [George Bailey] the main character. Zuzu had brought a flower home from school. When she was upset that a few petals had fallen off, George pretended to reattach them and secretly slipped them into his pocket.

Towards the end of the movie, after being shown [what the world] might be like if he had never been born, George is given a second chance by God. Changes that had occurred while he didnt exist, were returned. He is initially made aware of this, in part, by the fact that [Zuzus] Petals were again in his pocket.
