I buried myself into the yellow Japanese spicebrush, which were in full bloom.
Although the title's meaning is often interpreted to mean 'The Camellias' due to standard Korean (hence the name of the English translation) Gim Yujeong, who was born and raised in Chuncheon, would have spoken the Yeongseo dialect. Thus, the title and flowers described in the book are believed to be referring to Japanese spicebrush, a belief supported by the description of the flowers as having a pungent smell and yellow colour, features that are more closer to Japanese spicebrushes than Camellias in Korea. In modern day Yeongseo dialect speaking areas, it is still somewhat common to refer to Japanese spicebrush flowers as 'Camellia flowers'.
