SAGA

Adenanthera pavonina/相思豆/Saga seeds

Whenever I'm near the National Museum, I'll tiptoe to the back of it's grand facade to pick some saga seeds. 相思 can be loosely translated into lovesickness, but it's actually much more nuanced than that. In chinese, 相思 actually means keeping each other in your thoughts. The special thing about these seeds is this - they never lose their fiery red shade and it stays hard as a rock for as long as it lasts. Pretty apt description for unyielding love aye?


Long weekend this week!!!
