Day-Lily, the flower of forgetfulness.
Aster, sacred flower of remembrance.

Two sons mourned the death of there beloved father and both visited his grave for more than a year. Eventually, the older son's job and "amusements and interests" prevented him from visiting the grave and he planted the day-lily, the flower of forgetfulness, in his stead. The younger son was saddened and angry with this brother and continued to visit the grave. He planted the aster, the sacred flower of remembrance, at the grave. For his love and faithfulness, the younger son was rewarded by his father's protecting spirit and "...became fortunate, rich and happy."
