緋【あか】色【いろ】の花【はな】つ月【づき】
I'm trying to figure out the meaning for this part of kanji in a title for a series. The red flower month? The red flower moon? The month of blossoming red flowers? I'm totally at a loss as to how to interpret 'はなつづき'.
Answer
According to a dictionary, 花つ月 is an alternative name for March, the third month of the year in the traditional Japanese calendar. (I didn't know that.)
So 緋色の花つ月 means March in Crimson or something like that.
