The part of a「plant」that becomes「transformed」or the part of the「plant that bewitches」: the FLOWER or BLOSSOM containing the sex organs of a plant. Normally, a flower or blossom that is fertilized eventually「transforms」into a seed or seeds that start the cycle of life all over again, with the seed transforming into a plant with flowers or blossoms.
「Among all living organisms, flowers, which are the reproductive structures of angiosperms, are the most varied physically and show a correspondingly great diversity in methods of reproduction.」

While not always a waste of money, buying only flowers and blossoms as cut flowers may have been considered a waste of money a few thousand years ago since the cuttings will certainly die soon, another reference to dis-integrating the feet bones of service providers by making them unable to stand without support, similar to flowers cut off at the footing also needing a stable base, and water constantly bathing the cut root section. The term and elements for「flower」were also used to depict the「transformation」of young underaged prepubescent girls into concubines and sexual service providers as living sex meat, in the same manner as the English term,「deflower」(see the related glyphs). As「two emerging shafts transforming, persons with sitting concubine」one using each foot as a FLOWER, and obviously TO SPEND ONE'S MONEY and/or TIME often in a wasteful manner:「emerging shafts of rod head with service provider.」Undoubtedly, those highly-trained, young underaged prepubescent girl concubines and sexual service providers as living sex meat in dynastic China「transformed, deluded, bewitched, charmed multiple emerging shafts」as well. As depicted in erotic Chinese art, men in dynastic China masturbated by wrapping no-longer-integrated feet around an erect penis ostensibly to lower the risk of contracting a sexually transmissible disease or infection that often occurred when performing coitus within some sort of mucous membrane system of a female service provider, and, to gain hand-control over the pressure applied to the foot meat surrounding a weakened penis that functioned as a living cockring.
「Bound feet were once considered intensely erotic in Chinese culture. …The process was started before the arch of the foot had a chance to develop fully, usually between the ages of 2 and 5. …Qing Dynasty sex manuals listed 48 different ways of playing with women's [no-longer-integrated] bound feet」(after removing the binding cloths, of course)

「Evolutionary biologists have traced the origins of masturbation to ancient primates that predate the first humans by tens of millions of years. The findings emerged from what scientists believe is the largest dataset ever compiled on the activity, and confirm that humans arose on a branch of the tree of life replete with self-pleasuring predecessors. 'What we can say is this behaviour was present around 40m (40,000,000) years ago, in the common ancestor of all monkeys and apes,' said Dr Matilda Brindle, the lead researcher on the study at University College London. 'It's not that some species woke up one day and started doing it. This is an ancient, evolved trait.' '…This is such a common behaviour across the animal kingdom, I find it absolutely baffling that nobody has researched it before,' said Brindle. 'For people who think masturbation is wrong, or unnatural in some way, this is perfectly natural behaviour. It's part of our healthy repertoire of sexual behaviours.'」
