바람꽃, baramkkot. Wind-flower. Open the dictionary, though, and the first entry is not a flower.
When a big wind is getting up, a whitish haze gathers on the far mountains, like cloud. That is baramkkot. The wind has not arrived yet. You know by the outline of the hills going soft.
The second entry is the flower. It covers a group of anemones — 국화바람꽃, 꿩의바람꽃 and their relatives, all in the buttercup family. They open in early spring, while the wind is still cold.
Not flowers that endure wind. Flowers that open in it.
Whoever named these two things could have gone to the season, or to the color. They went to the wind both times — the white on a distant ridge, and the white shaking close to the ground.
The cold does not let up for them. They open anyway, low down, white, shaking the whole time.
