💧“Spring's Gaze”

Water Drop Poem for the Adonis Flower
by Aqua

🍒 Still, it gently peeks its face from the cracks in the snow-covered earth.
In the cold wind, its form staring straight at the light is like spring's gaze.
Faster than anyone, quieter than anyone,

“I'm here,”

announcing life's awakening.

Golden petals, fragments of the sun.
They light the memory of warmth in a frozen world.

It is
a small sign of promise,
that spring will surely come. 🌸🍅

💧A word from the dewdrop
Adonis is the first dewdrop knocking on spring's door.
Its strength to bloom in the cold transforms into gentleness, warming the hearts of those who see it.

January 1st’s birth flower is

Adonis amurensis『光のほうへ』
“Toward the Light”, Adonis ramosa

A quiet mountain village wrapped in snow.
There lived a boy.
During winter, the village slept under a white blanket.
People stayed indoors, waiting for spring,
spending their days in silence.

But the boy wondered:
“Will spring really come?”

One morning,
he saw a tiny yellow glow in the snow.
As he came closer,
it was a small flower,
pushing aside the snow and blooming straight toward the sky.

“…Aren’t you cold?”
The boy whispered.

The flower swayed in the wind,
as if answering:
“I am cold. But I believe spring will come.”

From that day on, the boy visited the flower every morning.
And little by little, he began to smile.
When spring finally arrived,
and light filled the village,
warmth bloomed in the boy’s heart too.

The flower language of Fukujusou is
“Bringing happiness” and “Eternal joy.”

It is the gaze of a small life
that believes in hope even in the cold.
At the start of a new year,
may this single bloom light up your heart. 💛

“Toward the Light”

Fukujuso, Adonis amurensis (scientific name:Adonis ramosa) is a cold-tolerant perennial plant in the family Ranunculaceae, which is native to East Asia such as Japan.
It is said to be the heralding flower of spring, and its yellow, double-flowered flowers bloom in the mountains and Japanese gardens in early spring. It produces yellow flowers before the leaves appear, so at first only the flowers bloom and then the leaves appear. Its Japanese name is "Fukujuso", which means "lucky" in Japanese, so it is also used for planting at New Year's parties. The flower color is yellow, and other garden varieties include red and green. The flowers are dainty, but the whole plant is poisonous because it is part of the buttercup family.
The language of the flower is "inviting happiness".
