Flowers of Spring
April is the peak of spring: cherry blossom, tulip, anemone, wisteria, ranunculus, poppy, lily of the valley, and marguerite. Just as the cherry blossoms fade, wisteria begins to bloom.
Wisteria, also called fuji-nami, has represented Japanese spring since ancient times. Lily of the valley's sweet scent suggests the return of happiness. April brings entrance ceremonies, the new school or fiscal year, and the solar terms Seimei and Kokuu — a time of new environments.
For a gift, tulip for hope, lily of the valley for happiness, and wisteria for gentleness are easy choices.
