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!!😂

Blue is a rare colour among plants and animals, and I totally understand your love for this flower.

I don't see the semblance with a dog's naughty bits, though.

Thank you,Mina!
As you say, blue is indeed rare and beautiful in nature.
When this flower turns into fruit, it will look like this. 😭

I feel sorry for them being called strange names, but they do look a bit like them.
