He pauses before picking another favourite song by someone else: “I’d choose ‘Diphylleia Grayi’ by my fellow SHINee member, Jonghyun. When I first heard that song, I remember thinking, ‘He’s such an incredible artist.’ It gave me so much inspiration.”

MAKING MY OWN POST ABOUT SKELETON FLOWERS
Why even lie about that stupid "Alpine Lotus Leaf Flower" when SKELETON FLOWERS ARE RIGHT THERE!?!?!?!
There was no reason to lie!!! Look at these! And they're arguably even better BECAUSE THEY ARE REAL. They turn transparent when it rains! They're usually white! Isn't that so cool? Native to China/Japan, they bloom in summer and prefer a sandy/loamy soil. Also known as the Umbrella Leaf or Asian Umbrella Leaf. This world is amazing, and I refuse any notion saying otherwise.
Diphylleia Grayi. Skeleton flower or glass flowers. Aren't AI, are from China 😵💫☮️
