臭木(クサギ) harlequin glorybower

 　木の名前が示すように、クサギの葉や茎は臭いことで知られています。その一方で、花の香りは心地よいとも言われています。花は常時咲いている訳ではないので、葉や茎の匂いが、この木を代表するようになったのでしょう。
　同様に、人も日頃の行いが大事ですね。

　As the name of the tree suggests, the leaves and stems of the Harlequin Glorybower are known to have a odd smell. Otherwise, the flowers are said to have a pleasant fragrance. This tree's name "クサギ" means "Stinky Tree" in Japan, which is unfortunate, I think.
　The smell of the leaves and stems has probably become a symbol of this tree because the flowers don't bloom all the time.
　 People's everyday actions are equally important.
