Friday's Bouquet


There I was strolling along a narrow street in Japan when I chanced upon these pretty flowers. I asked hem for their name but they politely refused. So, with their permission, I took a photograph of them with the intention to post it here to see if anyone recognizes them.

Thank you, Rosie.

What do you mean they didn't understand my Japanese?
I asked, "Onamae wah nan desu ka?"
But they replied, "Sayonara."

ps. Oops! Can it be their name is Sayonara? Hmm........

Thank you, mrsjoe.

Yes, they do look like stars and the leaves are too dainty for daisies.
I think you are right; it must be the pronunciation. When I was in Beijing and tried to enter what looked like a mall, I could not understand the guard who stopped me although we were both conversing in mandarin. It turned out that it was a block of offices.
