I’ve heard that camellias are considered bad luck in Japan for the way their blossoms fall whole to the ground in one fell swoop, as opposed to, for instance, the graceful fluttering of the cherry blossom’s petals one by one. I don’t see why that would be a bad way to go, though. I personally hope to be about 88 years old when I turn around while riding my bike to look at a pretty girl and get flattened by a beer truck.
