can i use hiding instead of hidden? i want some detail.

Yes, you can because the 'snake' is still hiding. You couldn't use weaving in the second because that action is finished.

Hidden: You r the snake (who has been) HIDDEN in my daffodils.
Hiding: You r the snake (who has been) HIDING in my daffodils.
HIDING means the action was voluntary and s/he did it him/herself.

The snake could be "hidden" of its own volition. It does not have to mean a passive construction.

You mean in sentence 3, the snake don't hide anymore(the action is finished)?

 

[Tdol]

No- I am saying that in the third you could use both hidden and hiding, but there is only one option for the second sentence.
