雪の下[Yukinoshita] Saxifraga stolonifera

雪[Yuki] : Snow

の[No] : Of

下[Shita] : Under, bottom

The origin of the name is not clear. They say it is because the leaves keep green even under snow, or because the large petals growing on the underside look like a 舌[Shita](tongue) as white as snow, and so on.

The Saxifragales order is called ユキノシタ目[Yukinoshita-moku]. Until the plant classification was changed to the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group system, 紫陽花[Ajisai](Hydrangea,) 空木[Utsugi](Deutzia,) etc. were in ユキノシタ科[Yukinoshita-ka](the Saxifragaceae family.)

Random plant updates, part whatever

Everything is popping out so much new growth and I am incredibly excited about it. It's New Leaf Day 2-5x a week right now! Endless celebrations.

My plant overperformers for the month are my Strawberry begonia (Saxifraga stolonifera) and my NOID Haworthia both of which may need to be repotted again by the end of the summer if they keep growing at the rate they've been growing at. There were both given to me in tiny pots, I upsized them by 2", and they have both already taken up that whole space. I'm incredibly impressed.

The other big growth winner for the month is the old man (nongendered, its just got old man vibes) Hoya pubicalyx that I rescued from my Mother-in-Law's former place of employment. This thing is reputed to be close to 20 years old (it's got vines like tiny tree branches, its thicc) so I'm not surprised that I grew 7 leaves this month but also, it grew seven leaves this month!

I have potted up the cuttings that I took of my Grandfather's ancestral Holiday Cactus (Schlumbergera truncata) and I can't wait for it to start growing. Also, its counterpart, my African Violet who's named for my Grandmother, is about to start flowering again. Someday I hope to keep them together on my ancestral altar.

I finally have all of my propagations into pots, so of course I need to start some more ASAP. I'm not ready for my Monstera adensonaii to outgrow its support, so I'll probably do a good chop to create a fuller plant. Also my NOID Peperomia "scandens" could use a chop to make it look more even (and eventually fill it out more).

My two "birthday plants" should arrive tomorrow. I ordered a Begonia maculata "Flamingo Queen" because I was looking for a summer bloomer and a Scindapsus pictus Exotica that I'm hoping will live happily in the free window that I still have in my living room. I have a name picked out for the Begonia (my partner wants to name them after a famous Flamingo Queen) but have absolutely no idea what I am going to name the Scindanpsus.

There are outdoor plants, too. Far too many to talk about. My rose bush is in full bloom, as is the first of my Meadow Sages. My Ruta plants have buds, too! (that will be a first, we planted it late in the summer last year) I think that my Calendula and Zinnia starts that I grew from seed will be hardened off enough to plant by this weekend.

I don't know where I'm going with this. It's mostly a record for me. Of this ephemeral moment. Of this ephemeral happiness.

Saxifraga stolonifera

One day I found a Saxifraga stolonifera in my garden. It had beautiful pink flowers with small red leaves spreading around them. I was so fascinated by the flowers that I immediately took them home and planted them in a pot.

After a while, I began to look at the pot every day. Saxifraga stolonifera made me happy every time they produced a small flower. Then one day, as I was looking at the flowers, I began to think about myself.

雪の下

ある日、私は庭で雪の下を見つけました。美しいピンクの花が咲いていて、そのまわりには小さな赤い葉が広がっていました。私はその花に魅了され、すぐに家に持ち帰り、鉢に植え替えました。

しばらくして、私はその鉢を毎日眺めるようになりました。雪の下は、小さな花を咲かせるたびに、私を幸せな気持ちにしてくれました。そして、ある日、私はその花を見ているうちに、自分自身について考え始めました。

雪の下は、小さな葉っぱから伸びる細い茎を使って、新しい場所に自分自身を広げていきます。私もまた、新しい場所に自分自身を広げることができるのではないかと思いました。私は雪の下から多くのことを学び、その花を通じて自分自身を再発見することができたのです。

I love the leaves, and I love those three tiny pink petals up, two long white petals down flowers!
