bush clover

On-Yomi: シュウ

Koohii stories:

1) [cameron_en] 14-11-2008(28): The bush clover is a special flower which was dedicated to bush when he won the presidency in Autumn.

2) [mantixen] 15-2-2007(23): Bush clover flowers in autumn.

3) [chibimizuno] 14-7-2009(13): From the Japanese Wikipedia page for bush clover: ハギ（ 萩 ） とは、マメ科ハギ属の総称。落葉低木。秋の七草のひとつで、花期は 7 月から 10 月。 So the bush clover really does flower in autumn, as suggested by its kanji.

4) [decals] 26-10-2010(3): Like past President Bush, bush clover is a little slow. It flowers (blossoms) in fall, after most flowers have died and wilted away.

5) [perrin4869] 10-5-2011(2): People discovered a field in which they were trying to grow bush clovers, but instead of growing flowers, they were growing clones of ex-president Bush! Of course, everyone gathered as fast as they could and turned it into a burning field (see my suggestion in frame autumn (#900 秋)) before it was too late.
