The red lycoris (manjusaka) has a special trait where its flowers and leaves never grow together. The leaves fall when the flowers bloom, and the flowers wilt as the leaves grow, symbolizing separation and missing each other and the feeling of reluctant to leave. In China, the bright colors symbolize good luck, wealth, and beauty.
