Typing 2nd -2 "Flower"

My favorite flower is Lycoris radiata. Lycoris radiata called Higan-bana in Japan. In my house's garden, there are many Lycoris radiatas.


Lycoris radiatas come out around the autumn equinox. The equinoctial week is important religious in Japan. I wonder Lycoris radiatas come out around religious day. I think that Lycoris radiatas are holy flowers. In Japan, people sometimes hate them as inauspicious flower. “Higan” of Japanese “Higan- bana” comes from the opposite shore. That is to say “heaven”.


I like especially red Lycoris radiates. They are like blood. If so many Lycoris radiates come out, we will think it is a big fire too. When I sometimes see Lycoris radiatas on the roadside, I think their red are unnatural. But their straight stems and spoke-like petals are very attractive.
