Hydrangea Day＊June 6

Speaking of flowers during the rainy season, it's the hydrangea＊

Hydrangea Day is on [June 6], but its origin is quite unique!

Traditionally believed to have protective qualities, hydrangeas were said to ward off women's diseases, leading to the custom of hanging hydrangeas in homes on days with the number 6.

Thus, although the vibrant blooms of hydrangea during the rainy season is one reason, June 6 with two sixes is considered "Hydrangea Day"＊

Baby's Breath Day＊July 7

Not widely known, but July 7, when Orihime and Hikoboshi are allowed to meet once a year, is also "Baby's Breath Day"＊

Sunflower Day＊July 14

The summer flower that blooms about now is the sunflower ♡

Sunflower Day was established on [July 14] because on July 14, 1977, Japan's first meteorological satellite, Himawari No. 1, was launched from a space center＊

Just like sunflowers always face the sun, meteorological satellites always look towards the Earth, creating a comforting similarity ♩
