I can’t think of any days in the Pentecostarion off the top of my head when there are only three canons, whereas this is de rigeur in the Lenten Triodion, so I am curious, was the Slavonic name “Flowery Triodion” not intended to be literal, in contrast to the Lenten Triodion? Or am I overlooking something? Even in Bright Week where the Paschal Hours (1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th) are in highly abbreviated form, the Matins seem to have many odes.
Also I seem to recall reading somewhere of two-ode canons in the Octoechos, but have never seen any; has anyone ever heard of a canon with fewer than three odes?
