hanaMi v.s hanaBi

一文字違うと意味が全く違うことは言葉の面白さではないでしょうか。この2つの言葉は一文字違いではあるけれども、それぞれが日本の異なる季節の風物詩というつながりを感じます。

When you study Japanese, these two words sounds quite similar with a word “Hana” ,means flower, but please see the pictures below and it will help you out to understand the difference. Both flowers are blooming along rivers.
