We were also searching for this flower Pseudopyxis depressa. It's hard to find, harder to find in bloom, virtually impossible to photograph with a digital camera. It's a very delicate pink color and of all the shots we took of it, not one of them shows the pink like it should be.

Here is a shot of Saxifraga stolonifera with its 2 large flower petals and 3 small flower petals. The 2nd shot shows one of the Mt. Takao Huge Cedars with incredible green moss on its trunk. This shot was taken along the road to the Shrine - the route which we refer to as "Main Street". We took Main Street to go down because the Pseudopyxis is along Main Street.

We went back to Ome and back to the Fukiage Iris Garden (see page 1) on June 15th and the difference 2 weeks makes was amazing. Aren't these some beautiful Iris blossoms?

The 2nd and 3rd shots in this row are what they call a "Hawk's Claw Iris". I think you can see how it got named, eh?
