Hepatica (Yukiwarisou)

by Aqua

In a forest still blanketed with snow,
a small flower quietly peeks out, sensing the coming of spring before anyone else—
this is the Hepatica.

True to its name,
it’s also called “Yukiwarisou,” or “snow-splitting grass,”
for the way it blooms through the lingering snow,
gently yet surely announcing the arrival of spring.

What appear to be petals are actually sepals.
In soft shades of white, pale purple, and blush pink,
its modest yet varied colors
gently reach out to the hearts of those who see them.

Its meanings—secret and shyness—
reflect its reserved and delicate presence.
But the way it pushes aside the snow to bloom
reveals a quiet confidence and the strength of life within.
