Haru-botan (spring peony) flowers in Kencho-ji



In the true height of spring, the magnificent flowers of Haru-botan are blooming in a dignified manner as the queen of flowers in the clear and brilliant sun.

Their thin elegant petals seem to be made of finest sheer silk and the transient splendor of these flowers fades as rapidly as every earthly glory.

After this short blooming season of spring peony, the long spell of rainy weather will approach here to suggest that summer is almost upon us.

A flower falls too soon and time flies too fast in this life.

This magnificent flower should know the truth and will begin to wither away rapidly just after it comes into full bloom.

Haru-botan (Paeonia suffruticosa) flowers in Kencho-ji


The magnificent flowers of Haru-botan (spring peony) were blooming in the garden of the old Zen temple to triumphantly declare the true height of spring.

After the ending of these majestic flowers of spring, the gray rainy season approaches moment by moment.

The thin silky petals of Botan overlap each other and show exquisite shades of colors.

The flower of Botan blooms magnificently as if to be aware of its designation as the king of all flowers.
