Daylily with Pointed Petals (Hemerocallis) ヘメロカリス

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

Daylilies (Hemerocallis) are native to East Asia and can be found across Japan. Daylilies are diverse in terms of color and petal shape. The daylilies in these photos have pointed petals while those in this post have round petals.   

Daylilies are "wasure gusa" in Japanese, which translates into "plant to forget things," meaning that you can forget bad things if you carry them. On the other hand, forget-me-nots are "wasurena gusa" in Japanese." The only difference (i.e., the "na" part), however, creates a huge difference in flower meanings in Japan. Forget-me-nots represents true love whereas daylilies flirtation and forgotten love.
