More Evidence of How Cool Minekura Is

So I was doing research on flower symbolism for a school project, and I came across some interesting information.  There is a type of flower called a "snowdrop" and, unlike other most of the other flowers I came across in my research that had multiple meanings, this one only had one recognized symbolism: hope.

And here I'd thought the Snowdrop arc's title in Reload was simply a reference to the fact that it was snowing, and all the heavy symbolism the cold and the snow held for Goku and company.  Wow!  I just love Saiyuki!  There's always another layer to uncover!!  Here's a picture of the blossom:



Now I'm curious and want to take another closer look at the chapter titles.  Uh, perhaps after I finish the project I was working on when this tidbit distracted me.  hehe.  I want to know what other hidden meanings there are waiting to be uncovered!  :3
