i'm not sure, but the blood flower might be referring to the death of a person. when they are killed or die, they're buried 6 feet under, and within that space is dirt and soil. over that, grass is either planted or will eventually grow on its own. within every particle of dirt, every speck of soil, and every blade of grass, that person remains. from grass, a flower grows. so in a sense, that flower bloomed from the body, soul, and BLOOD of that person. it's their blood flower.
then i'm almost positive about the meaning of this lyric:
"i buried my blood years ago to encourage the vine; i waited for something to grow and flourish with time."
blood sounds like a metaphor for pain and tears or a tragic event that happened in the past, and tears are a form of water which would nourish a plant and make it grow, into the vine. ultimately, suffering let go, in order for it to morph into something alive, something beautiful.
