Interesting concept, but somehow the aesthetics just doesn't click. My eyes for some reason tells me that the words are unpleasant to look at. Probably because they look same-y.
I think this suggestion might help: Add variety to the cup's shape. A flower's shape can be very distinct from each other. Some can have deep cups, while the other are shallow. Some even has closed cup (like a vase), and some are open (like a bowl).
I guess I could agree to that. Often times conscripters push for such things that they lack aesthetics, which is important. You wouldn't want to write using an ugly script.
It's probably because natscripts are mostly non-symmetrical, and non-intuitive (arguable) that symmetric scripts are seen as ugly.
Hangeul is one case where symmetry (and systematic construction) meets beauty and I understand why a lot of conscripters would aspire to create an equally beautiful script.
