Kanzashi of The Month: March - Daffodils

Nearly two years ago I made what I thought would be my last kanzashi series entry, but then Kazurasei sucks me right back in with a motif that they've never posted before and thus, I never got a chance to cover before. So, here we are, once again, with another kanzashi motif! As always, kanzashi are courtesy of Kazurasei.

Their scientific name, Narcissus, is an ode to the Greek nymph of the same name who fell so in love with his own reflection that he eventually turned into a flower that drooped down towards water to eternally watch himself. Even its Japanese name, Suisen, translates to "Water Hermit," alluding to its Greek origins. Like its origin story, daffodils grow on upright stems but flower outward, slightly drooping, and can be found growing wild in fields, marshes, or near water. They're a perennial bulb, so they come back year after year, but don't need to be dug up like other bulbs as they're extremely cold hardy. They're praised worldwide as being heralds of spring as they're among the first flowers to bloom once the weather begins to warm. Since they're a bulb they're often grown inside and given as gifts to wish others a happy spring before the perennial kind bloom outside.

(3.14.23) 1) day off. Spent most of the day recuperating and trying not to speak at all in hopes of healing my throat and voice. Woke up and went to Aeon as usual. Bought what I needed and then returned home to have my Aeon lunch set 2) I napped and watched some TV before going out again to the wet market to buy groceries for dinner. I then cooked a simple meal for us; was he sure; went for a haircut; did laundry and then relaxed for the rest of the night **Lesson(s) learned: N/A #APinGZ #iphone12promax #apiphone12promax #wanderlust #travelbuggotmeagain #livingabroad #workingabroad #teachingoverseas #covid19 #ilovetotakepicsofmyfood #march #tuesday #tuesdayfunday #dienstag #guangzhou #china #广州 #中国 #星期二 #三月 #廣州 #中國 (at Guangzhou, China) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpxerMQv0RnjjDIqQCrF_xRdMxw-6LfRsLbktI0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
