ahh, a Thai name for a lily. Wondering if it's originally from Thailand (probably)

Wan = day
Visa is a short for Visakabucha - is a very important day in Buddhism as it's the start of the religion, 3 important event in Buddhism happened on this date (different years) - the day Buddha was born, enlightenment, and passed away to Nirvana. lotus/lily are a symbol of purity and people use them to pay respect to Buddha.
