〜Plant of good luck 花八手〜

Because the leaves of fatsias form into the shape of folding fans, that is, they spread out wide toward the ends; moreover, the letter “八” in its name means the number 8, which is also considered to be lucky; this kind of plant obviously is thought to be auspicious.  I never had this idea as the plant is rather somber-looking.

ヤツデは末広がりに広がっているし、縁起のいい数字の8だし、ということで縁起がいい木だとされているそうです。何かしら地味な木なので、そんなことは思ってもみませんでした。
