The Secret of The Flowers of Phenomenon (現象の花の秘密, Genshō no Hana no Himitsu) is the twelfth solo album by Susumu Hirasawa. It stands out from any work Hirasawa had done in the past, toning down electronic elements in favor of strings and other orchestral instruments. The title comes from a line in "Welcome", a 1995 song by P-MODEL,^[1] and has been rumored to be a reference to Carl Jung's Commentary on The Secret of the Golden Flower.
