Takasugi - Lantern Flowers: Latern flowers are often given as offerings to help guide the souls of the dead during Obon and Takasugi was drawn with them in the Pride Kakumei opening which I felt ties in a lot to his journey throughout the series.
Bansai - Periwrinkle: I think the Kiheitai in general is kind of heavily defined by their loyalty/feelings toward Takasugi so I chose periwrinkles which represent faithfulness and trust for Bansai, since he seems to have an absolute loyalty and trust towards Takasugi.
Matako - Carnation: Similarly for Matako, I chose carnations because they represent love and fascination and are also a gift typically given on Mother's day. I feel the combination of all of those attributes tied in well towards to Matako's feelings toward Takasugi.

I like the idea that Takasugi tries to give Matako as much of a “normal” life as he can, when he can. Like even though it was her choice to join the Kiheitai and he took her in because she had nowhere to go, part of him probably still feels responsible for taking away the rest of her life from her; he knows what it feels like to be a kid in a war and feels responsible for bringing her into the war he’s fighting, so he tries to make her feel like an ordinary girl when he can.
He probably gifted her the pistols she carries everywhere (with Sakamoto’s help because he knows guns in a way Takasugi doesn't). He lets her pull him everywhere and take selfies with him even if he doesn’t understand the point (based on those two official arts). When she tells him space makes her feel uncomfortable, he orders the Kiheitai to dock on Earth as soon as possible under the excuse of needing to refuel the ship. He just...takes care of her, because she’s one of his people and he takes care of his own.
