誰かに触れられるとすぐに葉を畳んでしまう、微笑の花。

初めてこの花を見た時は名前も知らなかった。

ただ、これの名前はバタフライフラワーじゃないかな・・と思った。

ブログの友達から名前を教えてもらった。日本での名前は「オサバフウロ」だと・・

後で調べてみたら韓国での名前は「サランチョ」だった。

とにかく、

植物が動くというのは何か珍しいことだ。

There are flowers that are called "Sarangcho".

These flowers have five pink petals and three purple leaves.

They are not colorful but they have a simple beauty.

When I first saw these flowers, I thought about the name " Is this the butterfly flower?"

Because the three leaves seemed like butterfly's wings.

But my guess was wrong.Their name was "Sarangcho".  Sarangcho means "grass of love"

I don't know why the Sarangcho is called the grass of love.

The interesting thing is, these flowers have the unique trait that the leaves shrink If somebody touches them.

So I made new name for this flower. It's "shy smile".
