In Chinese, a「sun flower」or a flower that grows well in direct sunlight and dry soil. In Japanese, a flowering plant, probably the hollyhock. Asian species of hollyhocks have very long taproots in soil resembling the schwantz of a male deity (think about that for a minute), and as such are quite resistant to drought, survive with only a「little water」and propagate well in dry sunny Yang areas, since the taproot can always seem to find some underground water when other plants cannot.
Asian wild ginger: Asarum caulescens is the Latin name derived from the holy of holies, the sacred hole, a sacrificial meat altar. Not closely related to ginger, but tastes and smells similar to ginger root although containing toxins that destroy the kidneys and is a carcinogen, so ingestion is not recommended, generally. Grows well in moist, shady, humus-rich Ying-type soil. Each rhizome bears a brownish-red flower with a deep hole that opens between two buttocks-shaped leaves. Another possibility, mallow, also grows well in moist, shady, humus-rich Ying-type soil, as marsh mallow (the herb, not the confection).「Subdue, take control of rod with two inverted no-longer-integrated feet」that naturally have very little if any fluids in them will produce the same sort of thick, sticky, whitish schmutz resembling both marshmallow insides (the confection) and the pithy innards of marsh mallows from which the confection was named.
FLOWERS, the euphemism for concubines and harem members, as in the English word「deflower」to describe the initial sexual experience of a virgin. The experience of the shaman's service providers in the caves o' wonder refers to SURVIVING IN HARSH CONDITIONS.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
