This wildflower has an unfortunate name in Japan, even though it is so small and lovely.
'O-inu-no-fuguri'
This means big dog's scrotum...poor thing, right?

They say it's because the shape of the fruit of this flower resembles that of a dog. omg...
But I love this flower!!😂

Also, it looks like the white flowers are what we call chickweed. If so, it's good to eat.

Oh, I didn't know that!
I think that the English names of plants are often more endearing.
Thank you! ✨😊
My pleasure.
I’m so glad! 🙏😊
