@ユミ Good morning! ☀️ Thank you for a message. That’s right. When I was with this flower, it smelled so good. Sweet flowers, I called. Let’s go for a nice day! 😊😊
Good mornevening, Yuming ! 😄👌 Heliotropes are rarely seen in Japan🇯🇵, but they are beautiful flowers, aren't they? 🤗💦 The flowers in your picture have a vibrant reddish-purple color, and there is a lovely cluster of many cute little blossoms.💜❤️🌿🧐 As you have looked up🔍, the name Heliotropium (heliotrope) comes from the Greek words "helios" (sun) and "trope" (turn), meaning "turning toward the sun" (heliotropism). 🌞 It is fascinating that people in ancient times believed this flower followed the movement of the sun, much like a sunflower.🌻🌞✌️ Hoitara-ne.👋👋👋
