| 鈴蘭 |
またFLOWERでお花を注文しました。
今度は鉢植えで鈴蘭です。
まったく知らないのですが、昔から好きな花だったので購入しました。
いまウィキペディアで調べたら、鈴蘭には君影草（きみかげそう）、谷間の姫百合（たにまのひめゆり）という別名があるそうです。
蘭とありますが、ユリ科なんだそうです。
エゾスズランという同じ響きの名前がありますが、こちらのみラン科です。

香水として利用される。聖なる香りと言われ、愛しい人にふりかけると振り向いてくれるという言い伝えも残る。
（中略）
フランスでは5月1日はミュゲの日 （ミュゲ = 鈴蘭）といい。愛する人にスズランを贈る習慣がある。
Wikipedia スズランより
大人パリジェンヌStories 米沢よう子著 / 光文社では、米沢よう子自身のフランスでの生活の様子も描かれていて、5月1日フランスでは誰もが無許可で売り子になれるので、なんと鈴蘭の屋台が並ぶんだそうです。
鈴蘭は花をリラ（百合）に喩えて表現されており、幸福を運ぶとされ、どなたかに鈴蘭をあげて相手の幸福を願うのだそうです。
成程、幸福を運ぶ花であり、自らが幸福を運ぶ日ですね。
鈴蘭（スズラン）と発音すると、色々な方々を偲び、ふと偲んでいる人が顔を上げると、若さ溢れる若い青年達が楽しげに歓談する、初夏の喫茶店での一場面が浮かびます。
君影草と発音すると、キミカゲソウという言葉の並びに「君（を）懸想（けそう=その人を想うこと）し候（そうろう）」という一文のラブレターが短縮されたり、謙ったり（へりくだったり）して、その名に隠れているようにも思えます。
以上、君影草でした。

| Lily of the Valley |
This time, it’s a potted lily of the valley.
I didn’t know anything about it, but I’ve always liked this flower, so I decided to buy it.
I just looked it up on Wikipedia, and apparently lily of the valley has other names, such as “Kimi-kage-so” and “Tani-ma-no-hime-yuri.”
Although it has “lan” in its name, it actually belongs to the lily family.

| Wikipedia From the Ezo Lily of the Valley https://w.wiki/MYNx |
It is used as a perfume. It is said to be a sacred fragrance, and there is a legend that if you sprinkle it on a loved one, they will turn to look at you.
(Excerpt)
In France, May 1st is known as Muguet Day (Muguet = lily of the valley). There is a custom of giving lilies of the valley to a loved one.
From Wikipedia, “Lily of the Valley”
https://w.wiki/3LaA
In *Adult Parisian Stories* by Yoko Yonezawa (Kobunsha), the author describes her own life in France. She mentions that on May 1st, anyone in France can sell goods without a permit, so the streets are apparently lined with stalls selling lily of the valley.
Lily of the valley is often likened to the lily and is believed to bring happiness; it’s said that when you give lily of the valley to someone, you’re wishing them happiness.
Indeed, it is a flower that brings happiness, and it is a day when we ourselves bring happiness to others.
When I hear the word “lily of the valley” (Suzuran), I am reminded of various people, and when I look up from my thoughts, a scene from an early summer café comes to mind: young men brimming with youth chatting cheerfully.
When I pronounce it “Kimikageso,” it seems as though the phrase “I long for you” has been shortened or humbly concealed within the arrangement of the characters, as if a love letter were hidden within the name itself.
That concludes our discussion of Kimikageso.
