Notes: In some languages it may be difficult to use generic expressions such as ‘flower’ or ‘plant.’ One may therefore be obliged to use a more specific designation of a type of flower which lasts for only a day or so. In OET JAM 1:10 it is the fragile and temporary nature of the blossom which is important in this figurative context.
