The birth flower for September 24th is the pygmy water lily: a white water lily that quietly adorns the water's surface.

The hardy water lily blooms with small white flowers on the water's surface.
It is named for its habit of blooming from the afternoon into the evening, as "hitsuji" refers to the eighth double-hour of the day (around 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.), hence it is called "the grass that blooms at the hour of the sheep."
Its neat and refreshing appearance brings a sense of quiet tranquility to the waterside.
