a midsummer flower

There are flowers blooming despite the heat of summer in Japan.
The name of flower is "Sen-Nichi-Kou" in Japanese.
English name may be "bachelor's button".
Sen-Nichi means thousand days and Kou is color of deep pink or violet.
So this name comes from keeping the color for thousand days.
What a beautiful and strong flower!

The flower language is "Eternal life", "Enduring passion", and "Endless friendship".
Aha! That makes sense.

Have a nice weekend!
Thanks
