i love my name, 沈采萱

today, i keep changing my msn display name, and at last i change it to my chinese name 沈采萱, and my aunty who don't understand chinese come to message me that she can't find me. haha.. ^^ And she asks what is 萱 means, as what i have understand, it's a plant name, but never know what does it looks like and what is the meaning.. so, i go google and found these:

姓名学字义:学识渊博,一生多才,清雅荣贵官运旺,福寿出国之字。
英文字义:只开一天的百合花 (a day lily; Hemerocallis flava)因为单朵萱草,常是凌晨开放,日暮闭合,午夜萎谢,只有一天的美丽;别名谖草、忘忧、宜男等。花色淡黄、橘红等,六至十二朵,六、七月开,呈喇叭状,极富自然美。
萱草,传说是一种能使人忘忧的草,《诗经》有云“焉得谖草,言树之背”,意思是说那能找到谖草,种在北堂上,以解忧思。古时传言,妇人佩之能生男子,故又谓宜男,后又以象征母亲,表示敬重。
