Man on the earth(野生のサツマイモ）,Arranging wild flowers:（バカナス）

I use an iPhone app to identify plants. The name of this big white flower came up as “Man on the earth” along with another several names. What a fascinating name!  

I use google to translate plant name into Japanese. This black berry like plant, black nightshade  came up as “Baka nasu” in Japanese which literally means that “foolish eggplant”.  

Some plants have strange names in English or Japanese…

From Rikyu’s Hundred verses 

“うす板は床の大小また花や花生によりかはるしなしな”

“The unsuitable depends upon the size of the alcove or the varying flowers and types of flower containers”
