Birth flower, star, fish & fruit of November 17
Birth star
Rana
Star words: frog song, river-dweller
Eridanus · δ Eri · mag 3.53 — Culminates around midnight

Nandina

Nandina returns on November 17, paired with Orchid Pink (#DA81B2) and the color word "the warmth of a cheek." Good fortune and a good family are still the flower's meanings. The pink makes the date feel warmer and more domestic — berries and leaves brought indoors.
The frog star returns on November 17: Rana, an orange giant about twenty-nine light-years out, one of the pleasant stops along a binocular tour of Eridanus. Frog song and river-dweller remain its star words, and near midnight it tops the southern sky. The color beside it is Orchid Pink (#DA81B2), read as the warmth of a cheek. A plain-spoken star and a flushed, blooming hue — the date keeps simplicity and charm side by side.
November 17's birthday fish is the Alaska pollock, said to be one of the fish that have most quietly upheld Japanese tables — its flesh gives us tarako, mentaiko, and kamaboko alike. Its fish words are "foundation" and "support": a fish that props up countless meals without asking for the spotlight. Its peak season is January and February, with November opening the way — time to try it in a hot pot. Today's birth color is Orchid Pink (#DA81B2), softly lighting a winter table held up together.
If you were born on Nov 17, your birth fruit is the La France pear. Market stalls fill with this pome fruit around Nov. Fruit words attach "enchantment and ripeness" to the La France pear. It is in season Nov. Its date also carries the birthday color Orchid Pink (#DA81B2). The color word here is "the warmth of a cheek". The day pairs the season's fruit with its own color.
Our birth flowers are an independently compiled system based on flowering seasons and hanakotoba. Birth stars are assigned by an astronomical rule — the IAU-named star culminating around midnight on that date. Birth fish and fruits are compiled independently by peak season (fish include seafood).
