Pansies come back on January 22 with Asagiiro (#00A3AF) and the color word deep water. Thoughtfulness and think of me remain the flower's hanakotoba, and it still peaks from January to April. The change is the color: after the gray of its first appearance, this is a saturated blue-green, the sort that looks almost black in a shaded corner. A cheerful face against something much deeper.
Avior has no ancient pedigree: the name was coined in the 1930s by Britain's Nautical Almanac Office for use in air-navigation tables. A modern name, then, for the 1.86-magnitude star of Carina — the keel of the old Argo. On January 22 it culminates low in the southern sky around midnight. Its star words are voyage and embarkation. The day's color is Asagiiro (#00A3AF), whose color word is deep water. A navigational christening, and waters deep enough to trust: bon voyage.
