On the way to work I saw a few dayflowers growing beside the path.

If you're fickle of heart, you are likened to a dayflower... 'tsukikusanokokoro' (月草の心).
Like many poetic flowers, 'dew grass' (露草) goes by many names: 'moon grass' (月草), 'firefly grass' (蛍草), 'cap flower' (帽子花), 'blue flower' (青花) & 'clothed grass' (着き草).

“It was true then: he had after all the shifting hue of the dewflower. She had heard about that. She had heard, albeit in general terms, that men were good at lying, that many a sweet word went into the pretense of love.”
-Murasaki Shikibu (紫式部), The Tale of Genji (源氏物語).

'Tsuyukusa' (ツユクサ, 露草, 鴨跖草, 鴨跖) goes by many names, but because its flowers open at dawn and wither at dusk, it is commonly known as the 'dayflower'.
This brief burst of life has made it a symbol of fleeting affections, changes of heart, and nostalgic feelings.

🪻SUMMER BLUES🎨
Despite what the humidity may be telling us outside, the traditional calendar promises that we are now in a season called 'shosho' (処暑 'manageable heat'-August 23rd-September 7th).
From now until autumn the delicate Asiatic dayflower (ツユクサ) begins to bloom.
