         1.  Hanakotoba= Fame, Eternal love
         2.  Red Tulip
         3.  Botrytis tulipae is a major fungal disease affecting tulips, causing cell death and eventu-
             ally the rotting of the plant.
         4.  The fungus Trichoderma Viride can infect tulips, producing dried leaf tips and reduced
             growth, although symptoms are usually mild and only present on bulbs growing in
             glasshouses.
         5.  Tulip growth is also dependent on temperature conditions. Slightly germinated plants
             show greater growth if subjected to a period of cool dormancy, known as vernalization.
         6.  The flowers are usually large, showy, and brightly colored, generally red, pink, yellow,
             or white
         7.  There are about 75 species, and these are divided among four subgenera
         8.  In their natural state they are adapted to steppes and mountainous areas with temperate
             climates.
         9.  Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer

         1.  Hanakotoba= Shyness, Pride (Shy)
         2.  Amaryllis
         3.  color variations of white, cream, peach, magenta, and nearly red hues.
         4.  the many shades of pink also have stripes, veining, darkened edges, white centers, and light
             -yellow centers, also setting them apart from the original light pink.
         5.  Flower around March
         6.  Common name “Naked Lady” comes from the plant’s pattern of flowering when the foliage
             has died down.
         7.  Plants tend to be very localized in dense concentrations due to the seeds' large size and
             heavy weight. Strong winds shake loose the seeds, which fall to ground and immediately
             start to germinate, aided by the first winter rains.



         ASAGAO
         1.  Hanakotoba= Willful promises
         2.  Morning Glory
         3.  most are treated as perennial plants in frost-free areas and as annual
             plants in colder climates, but some species tolerate winter cold.
         4.  Because of their fast growth, twining habit, attractive flowers, and toler-
             ance for poor, dry soils, some morning glories are excellent vines for cre-
             ating summer shade on building walls when trellised, thus keeping the
             building cooler and reducing heating and cooling costs.
         5.  Many morning glories will self-seed in the garden. They have a hard
             seed coat which delays germination until late spring. Germination may
             be improved by pre-soaking in warm water.
         6.  first known for its medicinal uses, due to the laxative properties of its
             seeds.
         7.  The Morning glory has come to symbolize summer in Japanese horticulture and art.
         8.  known as water spinach, water morning glory, water convolvulus, ong-choy, kang-kung, or swamp cab-
             bage, is popularly used as a green vegetable, especially in Asian cuisines.
         9.  Most morning glory flowers unravel into full bloom in the early morning. The flowers usually start to fade
             a few hours before the "petals" start showing visible curling. They prefer full solar exposure throughout
             the day, and mesic soils. Some morning glories, such as Ipomoea muricata, are night-blooming flowers.
             By crowding out, blanketing and smothering other plants, morning glory has turned into a serious invasive
             weed problem.
