Happy Friday everyone,
Thank you for subscribing to Wu Fei’s Music Daily. This is episode #352 — Sleepy pink 合欢.
This piece was created and recorded yesterday. There is a pink mimosa tree in my backyard. Yesterday morning, I noticed that there was a few pink dots on the crown of the tree. By early afternoon, the entire tree was covered by blossoms, like in the photo below. I was amazed by this phenomenon.
According to Wikipedia, pink mimosa’s leaves slowly close during the night and during periods of rain, the leaflets bowing downward; thus its modern Persian name shabkhosb (شبخسب) means "night sleeper". This also tendency also explains the Chinese common name hehuan, which means "shut happy" and symbolizes a happy couple in bed.[3] In Japan its common names are nemunoki, nemurinoki and nenenoki which all mean "sleeping tree". Nemu tree is a partial translation of nemunoki.
Wishing you all a relaxing and eventful weekend!
