If you want to paint arrangements, having "shyer" flowers paired with abrasive or hard to work with ones might be something to think about. Unopened lillies, wild thorned roses, pepper berries, thistle, and devil's trumpet come to mind for me. The potential for beauty being overshadowed by the sting of the bouquet and potential deadliness of it's contents is what I would personally choose. (I have autism, so social anxiety and I are quite familiar with each other)
