There are so many flowers in Japan. I must have taken 1000s of photos with superb flowers. In a country where arranging flowers became the art of ikebana, such a wide variety of flowers is less surprising though.
These are simple spring flowers.
Peony is 牡丹 botan.

Spider is kumo 蜘蛛 and of course in katakana as well.
wow, you are a good fotographer - I find it very hard to take pictures of flowers and plants in general.
ReplyDeleteUm, what is the Japanese name for the flower on pictures 10&11? I love that flower - it is a bit hard to plant and get blossoming the first time, though. But once you have it, it can live for 50 years - it is lovely :)
Wish you a nice Sunday :)
Thank you. :-) I used to have a Nikon that takes nice close-up pics. And I love flowers and plants. I was joking at some point that I would publish a book about flowers of Japan - I have taken 1000s of photos, all different species, too. I find it a country full of flowers.
Delete10 and 11 are peony flowers, yes? Then it is called "botan" in Japanese. It smells nice.
I hope you are having a nice Sunday, too.
Very nnice post
