         1.  Hanakotoba= Respect, passionate love, radiance
         2.  Sunflower
         3.  typically grows during the summer and into early fall, with the peak
            growth season being mid-summer.
         4.  not as common in garden use due to their tendency to spread rapidly and
            become invasive.  They grow to 1.8 m (6 ft) and are primarily found in
            woodlands, adjacent to creeks and moist, prairie-like areas.  The disk of a
            sunflower is made up of many little flowers. The ray flowers here are
            dried up.  Sunflowers are usually tall annual or perennial plants that in
            some species can grow to a height of 300 cm (120 in) or more. They bear
            one or more wide, terminal capitula (flower heads), with bright yellow ray florets at the outside and yellow
            or maroon (also known as a brown/red) disc florets inside.
         5.  During growth, sunflowers tilt during the day to face the sun but stop once they begin blooming.  By the
            time they are mature, sunflowers generally face east.
         6.  Heliotropism: The habit of plants to move in the direction of the sun tracking of the sun.  This is typical in
            young sunflower heads.
         7.  Another technical feature that distinguishes the genus more reliably, but requires a microscope to see, is
            the presence of a prominent, multicellular appendage at the apex of the style.
         8.  Nitrogen-based fertilizers to better manage the fertilizers’ influence on sunflower growth. Ammonium ni-
            trate was found to produce better nitrogen absorption than urea, which performed better in low-temperature
            areas.

         1.  Hanakotoba= Love (Fascination, Distinction)
         2.  Carnation
         3.  the red carnation can be used as a symbol of socialism.
         4.  Light red carnations represent admiration, while dark red denote deep love and affec-
            tion.  White carnations represent pure love and good luck, while striped (variegated)
            carnations symbolize regret that a love cannot be shared.  Purple carnations indicate
            capriciousness, and the pink carnation became the symbol of a mother's undying love
         5.  Carnations require well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil, and full sun.
         6.  They are used for medical purposes, such as for upset stomach and fever. Their fra-
            grance was historically used for vinegar, beer, wine, sauces and salads.
