Flower placement in your teacup:

Top of teacup: for the drinker to see this symbol near the top of the teacup indicates that you have the true self-knowledge in order to work towards a worthwhile venture. Usually, however the basket is often connected to pregnancy and a new baby.

Bottom of teacup: if the basket appears near the bottom or on the actual bottom of the teacup, this means you have a deep determination to make something from your own dreams. This doesn't necessarily mean that you have to reject your current fantasies but it suggests that you will do something with them.
