#NOOO.... i did NOT just take the lilies from my painting of zen .... cold sweat emoji

[2zen]

zen's azure spider lily journal entry from nov. 3, 1915. some info from @askbluespiderlily and the corps records book ^_^

first page:

[drawings of blue spider lilies in shallow or deep water labelled shallow? or deep?]

'only drawn bloomed so I know how to draw spider lilies. ❀'

'they actually look like horsetails.'

[drawing of horsetail. no colour.]

'they still look nice in the ponds unbloomed, though.'

second page:

'I want to go with shallow water because I'd be able to hide them from moonlight with a blanket.'

'I don't think they'd be able to photosynthesize in deep water anyway. the only way I'd be able to hide them is with the lotuses, and I don't think our leader would be very happy with me moving them.'

'I wonder what they mean. they don't seem to show up in my hanakotoba book.'
