The symbolism of Snowdrops and Kalmia

Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well.

So, I realized that I had never shared the heart of Kasumi’s story, i.e. the symbolism behind snowdrop flowers. And while I am at it, let’s figure out the complete meaning behind Kalmia’s name too ^^

Shall we start?

Kalmia

As the story mentioned, Kasumi named Kalmia. Penguin station is the name of the cafe, which has penguin as a mascot. Now, why the name Kalmia to this cute furball?

Better known as Mountain Laurel due to the plant’s habit of growing in rocky, inaccessible, steep, and high elevation areas, Kalmia is named to a group of 7 flowers primitive to North America. 

They are the state flower of Pennsylvania, and are admired for its beauty, and its serene colors. What I think is, Kasumi might have understood this common initial lettering. Penguin Station, Penguin, Pennsylvania... 

That’s why he might have chosen Pennsylvania to pick out one name from it.

Based on the colors, they symbolise different things.

White, which symbolizes purity, recovery, loss, memory, and healing.

Pink, which symbolizes warmth, affection, friendship, the early stages of love, and youth.

It’s a great way to show a person you’re proud of them for succeeding despite difficult circumstances. Besides, penguins also symbolise resilience, for being able to survive in adverse climate. Which makes perfect sense, since each of the EICU member had gone through difficult pasts, and made it to where they are now. Kalmia is a perfect source to remind them of their brave steps in adversities.  

Despite such beautiful meanings, these flowers are toxic. One can only admire its beauty from afar, or with safety measures.

So basically, it’s two birds with one stone. Just like this flower is the life of Pennsylvania, Kal is the heart of the Penguin Station. Along with that, she likes to waddle with anyone from EICU, except for Kasumi, hence the irony, unapproachable to others. :’)

I admire how every little thing surrounding them has a symbol of their perseverance, and bravery to fight any situation that is tossed to them.

Snowdrop

Moving on to the flower that has a direct connection to Kasumi, Snowdrop. 

Beloved for its delicate beauty, the snowdrop flower has long been a sign that winter is almost over.

They are also named the birthflower of January. (which is again a great thing, as both Kasumi’s and my birthday fall on January.)

Snowdrop flowers hold deep meaning. Usually, as a spring flower, it is seen as a symbol of rebirth and the ability to overcome challenges in life. It can serve as a delicate reminder that we can all do great things in life – if only we set our minds to it. There is nothing that can make you fail if you have the drive to succeed! And Kasumi proves this too. Desperate to save lives, and protect the one he loves with all his heart, he stands at the top and is the example that nothing is impossible.

These tender white bulbs also symbolise modesty, purity, which is just another way to describe Kasumi.

Again, these flowers look really hardy, but they need extreme care to grow. Just like the man who appears to be cold, but has the most fragile heart.

That’s it. I am so happy to be able to decipher the meaning behind these hidden puzzles. Medical Science and Literature sure is amazing!

Bonus: 

Yui: Kal, we found the meaning behind your beautiful name!

Yui: Hm, am I forgetting something...?

Happy #Archtober! The annual October celebration of architecture and design is the perfect time to highlight Andrew Leicester's “Ghost Series” at #PennStation. These terra cotta wall murals evoke elements from the façade of the original 1910 Pennsylvania Station building by McKim, Mead and White. Demolition of that building in 1963, triggered the #historicpreservation movement. Fragments of the old Penn Station remain hidden in the lower depths of the building that replaced it, and the #MTAArts murals depict architectural details lost in the destruction. #GhostSeries #AndrewLeicester

NEW JOB

I got hired back at Penn Station except it's on the north east side instead of the west side so there won't be a bunch of drama. I'm super stoked, they're looking for managers right now and since I've already worked there, they hired me on above minimum wage and they expect to make me a manager within the first couple months I work there. I really couldn't have come across a better opportunity. Now I'm thankful that I got fired from Heady's. I'm so glad I have a real job:)
