radishes blooming...

Originally, I had the radishes "becoming flowers," but Shinji Ogawa points out that radishes, being roots, do not themselves bloom.

Sometimes the healthy leg of young woman is compared with radish.

Gillena san,
Thanks very much.
Is it popular in your country that young woman's leg is compared with radish?
sakuo.
in T&T the men don't not use the radish comparison, they sometimes compare a woman with well defined muscled legs to a horse, and its connotations are positive and complimentary
much love
gillena
Horse leg is sometimes sexual.
As you said, we are same, radish leg too is positive and complimentary.
Thank you for your kind talk.
sakuo.
