Hey Stezie... Lets try to get to the bottom of this....

I've now found a more exhaustive list of dates for our birth flower at http://chills-lab.com/flower/re-wa-03/. It gives us a new list of:

3/20, 3/22, 4/8, 4/13, 4/18

The initial dates for the analysis seem to have been chosen by means of "The hits for the three name variations "renge," "RENGE," and "renge (in kanji)" [I CAN ONLY ROMANISE IT SO MANY WAYS] on Google were used as "rengesou" [much easier than 'Chinese milk cetch'] birth flower candidates."

That's probably the dodgiest translation so far, but it hopefully tells us enough.... and that is that apparently the analysis wasn't exhaustive.... I don't know how I missed that.

FWIW, I assume that the shortened name was used here to get more results, although it may have skewed results because of Google's dark magic. I didn't actually notice that some of our days were missing, but if they're not common, it might make sense to leave them out.



For actual searching, "Among these [dates], only ones in Aries were counted [I think?]." And then.... there's something I'm not qute getting about search results and being from 100 of something.... not really sure, although.......

Crap. Maybe they weren't Google results? (I'd assume they were still, but mine seem wildly different).......... Oops. I gotta learn to read stuff. Just sorta assumed Google from earlier. (Or maybe it's just me using the wrong methodology - not sure on the exact searches done).

As far as the name variations for this specific flower, it's the same thing as the date finding stuff, it's "rengesou," "rengesou," and "RENGEsou." They're not different names, just different ways of writing it (perhaps I could've made that more clear).



THIS IS JUST RAISING MORE QUESTIONS THAN IT ANSWERS NOW. DAMN.

Perhaps we need to start at the start using only known facts: Aries and Rengesou (which I guess aren't confirmed, but they seem likely). Then we can verify all the data we see.

I guess we'd add up hits for searches from the more comprehensive date list and see where we get.
