Songhwa is a flower that blooms on pine trees. The flower language is ‘unchanging love’ and ‘immortality’. Unlike flowers that use insects, they are wind-pollinated. Pine pollen refers to pollen from pine trees in spring.

The form is yellow, light green, and fine powder. Male pollen is mainly yellow on the lower part of the shoot, and female flowers are on the top of the shoot for cross-pollination.
