This flower is traditionally called the king of flowers in China and Japan. <br /><br />The petals of this flower seem to be made of brightly-colored silk paper and tremble gracefully in the breeze of May.<br /><br />In a little while, as the rainy season is approaching, various Ayame (iris) flowers begin to bloom and elegantly beautify the gardens together with gentle Ajisai (Hydrangea) flowers.<br /><br />With all best wishes,Kunihikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08524230052385015583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1199128570537254614.post-439067559014949462011-05-11T02:39:16.274+09:002011-05-11T02:39:16.274+09:00The silky petals of poenies always make me think o...The silky petals of poenies always make me think of some magnificient kimono dresses.<br /><br />Thank you for all these wonderful pictures.
