Hi!

Some of you may have already known but� Kikyo is actually named after a 
flower.
It�s called a balloonflower in English, Jie Geng in Chinese (written in the 
same way Kikyo in Japanese)
Herbaceous perennial. Native to China and Japan. The unopened flower is like 
a purple hot-air balloon.
In a horoscope book, it is stated that this flower brings luck for those 
born on 18th of July� so who�s born on that day? I�m not.

A picture of it is available at:

Yucca   (also a kind of flower�er� no, more like a kind pointy bush ^_^  )
