Relation Of Leaves, Roots, Flowers
The kanji name Shoshihana (志 二 花) has no flowers when leaves have leaves and no leaves when they have flowers, so it is named after "leaves are flowers and flowers are leaves".

For example, when the leaf is first formed, photosynthesis is made, and the nutrients are stored in the ground, and leaves are quietly removed when the flower bud is made.
After the leaves have been blossomed, the flowers bloom without knowing these efforts of the leaves, and they show off their looks. But the leaves, who know or not, gladly sacrifice themselves and disappear quietly, and there is no lover between them. It 's like a child between parents.
In the legend of the Chinese and Japanese, this flower is believed to grow in hell and is closely related to death and reincarnation. In the Japanese Manga, Bride of Water God, this flower is often called and associated with romance that does not accomplish. This is because if Red Spider Lily is in bloom, the leaves will fall. Meanwhile, if the leaves grow, this flower will fall. According to them, what happened to Red Spider Lily is like a pair of lovers who love each other but can not be together.
Although the legend of this lily is sad, I fell in love with this flowers. The flowers are beautiful. Hopefully there will be a chance for me to visit Japan and watch the lily from close range. Hopefully my love of this flower will not make my love story as a legend of the Japanese legend about Red Spider Lily.
