Ground Orchid Needs Safekeeping

I have worried over this Ground Orchid plant for several years. It seems happy in this spot, but I fear it will be crowded by its neighbors. I have dug up some surrounding plants and moved them, but the little Bletilla cannot keep up with the fast growth of others. I have finally decided to put part of it in a pot for safekeeping. That way I can move it around to see if it will grow faster with…

紫[Shi|Murasaki] : Purple

蘭[Ran] : Orchid

It is native to eastern Asia. It also appears in the Tale of the Heike.

何事も皆變り果て、稀に殘る家は、門前草深して、庭上露滋し。蓬が杣浅茅が原、鳥のふしどと荒果て、蟲の聲々恨つゝ、黃菊紫蘭の野邊とぞ成にける。

It was devastated as if it were a mountain of Yomogi(mugwort,) a field of Asaji(cogongrass,) and a bird roost, and resenting the chirping of insects, it has become a field of Kigiku(yellow chrysanthemum) and Shiran(purple orchid.)

Although it is a member of the orchid family, is easy to cultivate.

Bletilla Striata

「この花の名前、知っとる？」 「知らん」 「お、正解！当ったりー。」 「？？？」 「この花、紫蘭（しらん）っていうんだよ」 フリルや翼（つばさ）のような花弁（かべん）と太く平たい緑の葉が雨の日でも庭を彩ってくれています。

𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐊 𝐎𝐅 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐋𝐔𝐒 & 𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐄 . the hearty spice tickles his throat , as inhaling thickly of the rich scent . cabinet upon cabinet of dried , mottled herbs have left the air around bubu pharmacy heavy with the dense aroma . the moment the consultant steps close , it already clings to the fabric of his clothing with its cloying headiness , sure to follow him even after he departs . through it , bletilla striata . so familiar , a pinch of its blossoms pinned against his breast many evenings , to keep its sweet perfume pressed at the forefront of his senses . it is not coincidence . the cool colors of the pharmacist are summoned from the rear of the shop , & the smell of wet earth overcomes the dried herbs , cutting through as the whole of the lord's mind comes to focus on the man . ( for someone who seems to seldom leave the walls of liyue harbor proper , perhaps it is the vision hanging on his waist that conjures the missing flora to him . )

　　　❝             good morning , bai - xiansheng .   ❞ it is the fourth time since the fall of the full moon that he has visited , now twice in ten days . though not without intention , always with need . only that these needs could easily be met on his own . the mortal zhongli enjoyed the short walk to the pharmacy , the quality of bubu's wares , & most of all the company of its chemist . needing prior pomegranate leaf , today pomelo . as was the case , in accordance to his own discretion , knowing well the intricacies of all degree of ritual both meant to chase away evil spirits , one bearing more warmth than the other in their energy , & therefore ill - suited when needing balance . of course , all such things need not be explained to a practitioner such as mr. bai .

　　　❝   your apprentice is away ?   ❞ the consultant is not one to belay his duties for conversation , though that intention is often lost by his willingness to share in his depth of knowledge . this , however , is conversation for the sake of conversation . the better half of his morning has already been spent on his other errands , the bulk of his desk - work having been completed in the earliest hours of the prior night . all that then remains is this final stop , ere he take his station at the funeral parlor once more for completion of the day . . . by then , business doors will be locked & all that then remained was the chance of the pharmacist taking to the street for the evening .
