- Positive silhouettes of morning glory (asagao) are decorated with dianthus blossoms. In Japan, the morning glory (asagao) was introduced by China as a natural laxative during the ninth century. Today it is a popular summer motif in Japan. Dianthus flowers are commonly gifted on mother's day in Japan. In Latin "Dios," meaning gods, and "Anthos," meaning flower this is the flower of the gods.
