Dude, Stephanie Myer has my credit for making a fantastic world, but her symbolism freaking sucks, the least she could've done is researched the symbolism behind it. The cover has multiple freaking meanings, but here is the basic of it;

1)A Tulip symbolizes a perfect love, and a white tulip are used to claim worthiness or to send a message of forgiveness. The tulip is tattered and spread apart to show how Edward and Bella's relationship was 'tattered and ruined' with Edward being gone (and him taking every reminder from her), 2) but with the tulip being white, I believe this is supposed to reflect how Bella feels with Edward being gone. She feels as if she's tainted, unworthy of the perfection that was Edward. This shows with how easily she believed Edward, and even states outright throughout the series how small and insecure she felt next to him.

3)Red is the color of extremes, in symbolism; Red is the color of passionate love, danger, seduction, violence, danger, fire, and blood. The white tulip is 'stained' with red to show the danger their love can bring, but with him gone, the danger never leaves (this is proven by Laurent showing up and informing Bella about Victoria.)

I don't believe the tulip is drooping either. Flowers don't droop unless their sick or dying, and even then it isn't curved right for the flower to be drooping. In fact, it kinda've looks like someone was holding it by the ends and gravity was simply pulling it down. But this I can be wrong about. The other information, such as color and tulip symbolism, I'm not wrong about. I double checked several websites just to be sure.
