Why does she carry a parasol if she can perform photosynthesis?

[Anonymous No.]

That's like saying why do women speak if they can perform fellatio.

Where does it say she's a plant or capable of photosynthesis?

Nowhere.

She has an umbrella/parasol because that's what she had on PC-98. She didn't have anything to do with flowers on PC-98, there was a loose association with flowers in Kioh Gyoku only in that her theme was called "Lovely Mound of Cherry Blossoms ~ Flower of Japan". She didn't actually have any real association with flowers until being retconned/whatever for PoFV. Regardless, there's no dialogue in PoFV or information in any official books that says she's photosynthetic.

Which is, of course, ignoring the fact that plants can become dehydrated, and they can't walk to a new source of water.

On PC-98 her overall theme was sleep and dreams. She first appears after being woken up by the protagonist, her first theme is called Sleeping Terror, her second theme is called Faint Dream ~ Inanimate Dream. She lived in a mansion in the Lake of Blood on the border between reality and the dream world.

There is a girl across from me who appears to have no handicaps, and yet she is carrying a walking cane.

She's wearing a short skirt and pantyhose, and when she got up from her chair and leaned over a nearby rail to get something, I saw her panties...

I really want to rape her, /jp/...

She always had green hair. Based on your logic, any character with green hair is actually a plant. Your logic dictates that Mima (vengeful spirit,) Shikieiki(yama,) Hina (god of misfortune,) Sanae (human,) Kisume (tsurube-otoshi,) and Kyouko (yamabiko,) are all plants and photosynthetic.

She was in Mystic Square too as a playable character, and I recall her having plant-based danmaku there. Her Seiho theme before her Windows appearance relates to it too "Lovely Mound of Cherry Blossoms ~ Flower of Japan"

Her name even refers to it
>The characters for Yuuka (幽香) mean "dim scent" or "fragrance". Kazami (風見) literally means "wind watching" and is also the term for a weather vane.

Also, her parasol is actually a flower that never wilts. I remember hearing that it's the oldest flower in Gensokyo too, somewhere.

That's a misconception. She doesn't feed off of sunlight, she feeds off the blood and flesh of hapless victims that are foolish enough to step foot into her garden.

PMiSS: "She's more like a manifestation of nature rather than a flower youkai, but unlike fairies, she is far more dangerous than any of the youkai introduced so far. [...] The ability to manipulate flowers is something to the extent being able to make flowers bloom, shift the face of sunflowers towards the sun, or make withered flowers bloom again. This ability is more of an extra; she truly possesses extremely high youkai power and physical abilities. A youkai-like youkai."

PMiSS, Windows canon. "Completely unrelated to her abilities, she uses her umbrella and scatters flower petals to perform graceful attacks. It is said that her umbrella is a special parasol that can largely cut ultraviolet rays (*1) and block rain as well."

From Perfect Memento in Strict Sense: This class of youkai is not interested in the average human, and only pays attention to equally strong youkai or humans with special abilities.

There are no countermeasures; it's impossible for ordinary humans to exterminate her. They can only be vigilant. Luckily, she isn't interested in boring battles, so as long as you don't attack, set up a trap, or set her field of flowers on fire, you should be fine.
