Buddha's hand

Buddha's hand (scientific name: Citrus medica var. Sarcodactylis) is an evergreen broad leaf shrub that is the native of China to India, where the citrus fruits of the family Rutaceae are. The fruit parted like a tip, like a finger, because it seems like the Buddha seems to be in hand. There is a strong fragrance of citrus similar to citrus fruits such as Yuzu on the peel and leaves. As there is no flesh, as with sharing, after extracting the astringent taste, it is edible with sugar confectionery and marmalade. Those which dried the skin are traditional Chinese medicine. It is said that the auspicious is good, it is planted in the garden, it is used for bonsai, New Year's decoration, Ikebana, cut flowers and so on. Because it is self-fruit, the fruit becomes one with one. Flower's language is "seeing the real me", and "beauty not flirting".
