The Kanto region has not yet been declared in the rainy season, but the weather stays unsettled. When a patch of blue peeks through, why not take a short break on the Palaceside Building roof? At this time of year it is open from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.—though closed in the rain.
We recently changed the plantings in the roof planters. A colleague who tends them told me the flower names, so I looked up the flower language online and wrote it out.
▽ Nemophila: “success anywhere,” “delicateness,” “I forgive you” ▽ Viola: “loyalty,” “trust,” “sincerity,” “a girl’s love,” “reverie,” “please think of me” ▽ Ivy: “eternal love,” “friendship,” “immortality,” “marriage,” “sincerity” ▽ North Pole: “sincerity,” “winter’s footsteps,” “nobility” ▽ Lavender: “silence,” “expectation,” “distrust,” “suspicion” ▽ Euryops daisy: “a harmonious relationship,” “marital harmony,” “bright love” ▽ Eremophila nivea: “the beauty one longs for” ▽ Marguerite: “love fortune-telling,” “trust,” “sincerity,” “constancy,” “true love,” “don’t forget me” ▽ Geranium: “respect,” “trust,” “true friendship”
Quite a few flowers share similar meanings—that was the impression.
