Kalanchoe 「紅弁慶」

Small, warm memories
That I keep locked in my heart
On days when I’m sad,
I let them bloom in my mind
To chase away the dull day

Notes: In hanakotoba (花言葉), the Japanese language of flowers, the Kalanchoe (紅弁慶) represents “to announce happiness” (幸福を告げる), “many small memories” (たくさんの小さな思い出), “I will protect you” (あなたを守る), and “a generous heart” (おおらかな心). In the western language of flowers, the kalanchoe represents “popularity” (人気、人望). [Japanese source]
