Utsugi (Deutzia crenata) flowers and Komisuji (Neptis sappho) butterfly: Engaku-ji

Utsugi (Deutzia crenata) flowers in Jochi-ji


The little milk-white flowers of Utsugi were still remaining wet after the morning rain.

These modest flowers bloom as the irreplaceable pearls of May almost everywhere in Kita-kamakura.
