Nandin and Flower cabbage

 Nandin;(Heavenly bamboo)

 

Taking a　walk　in　the　evening， I　saw　this nandin; (sacred bamboo)  at the yard of my neighborhood  and these　flower cabbages；’Ha-bo-ta-n'　in　another　neighbor’s　vegetable　field．

 

We　use　these　plants　for　the flower　arrangement　on new year's day．
For Nandin is a lucky plant because the Japanese name 'Na-n-te-n' means' that it will change problems to good luck.
And we associate the shape of  the flower cabbage with the sunrise on new year's day.
