Description inscription
A Poem on the jade hair-pin flower (Hosta sieboldiana) written by the Emperor (thought to be Qianlong)"The reputation of the flowers is not high;They look neat and have pure fragrance.Their colour is preserved in the shade by the wall in the Eastern village.There are many who have plucked them;Some wear them in their hair."
