An apartment building name today. It reads 芙蓉ハイム Fuyō Haimu, with ハイム coming from the German Heim, meaning home (right?). It shows up in apartment building names a lot.

芙蓉 [ふよう] is a type of hibiscus flower (Hibiscus mutabilis), also known as cotton rose, confederate rose, or dixie rosemallow. All three names that, taken together, make me a little uneasy! And apparently it can also mean lotus blossom.

芙 is only read フ, and it can mean lotus or Mt. Fuji. Its components are 艹 the grass radical and 夫 husband/man, the latter of which provides the reading.

蓉 is only read ヨウ, and it also means lotus. Its radicals are 艹 and 容 contain/form/looks, the latter of which provides the reading.

Incidentally, I could not find 芙 using my usual radical search, so I googled the radical names ("草冠に夫") and look what I got!

200% success! Did not even have to look up 蓉. (You might even say it was, uh, 不要 [ふよう] unnecessary. Heh.)

This kind of affirmed that this is a pretty rare kanji and a pretty rare word; nobody is searching for 芙 on its own! In fact, aside from 芙蓉, Jisho.org only lists one other word for either character:

阿芙蓉 [あふよう] is an archaic word for poppy (flowers).

芙蓉峰 [ふようほう] is a name for Mt. Fuji.

None of this vocab (芙蓉 included) is marked as common, and the characters never seem to be used separately, BUT, if you know the useful jōyō characters 夫 and 容, you can infer the pronunciation and at least recognize that it's some kind of plant! I think that’s neat.

Good morning 👋. Here is a frontal view of a Dixie Rosemallow (Hibiscus mutabilis). It is a simple #photo but I would say that it is a good example of contrast and texture 😜. This photo was taken in low light level conditions hence the darkened background which helped highlight the #flower and maintain it as the focus of attention, I think...😅. By the way, this lonely flower was found in the middle of #KeyLargo in the #Floridakeys 😊. So what do you think? #NikonD7200 , #Nikkor105mm f/8 , 1/250s, ISO 100, external flash with diffiser. If you are interested in this photo, please leave a message below 👇and/or visit my FB page 'Wings to Fly by Salci'. Thank you and have a great Friday and weekend. See back on Monday. Best regards ✌. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ERaZzJpJ4/?igshid=b95m5oodgom1
