On June 20th Kazuya and I went to Kita-Kogane and visited Hon Do Temple - again to see Hydrangea flowers. The first shot in this row shows a large patch of Hydrangeas right at the entrance to the Temple. The 2nd shot shows Kazuya standing in front of a bunch of Hydrangeas and the 3rd shot shows a beautiful pink flowered plant.

On Friday, June 26th, Kazuya and I went to Nogawa Park and visited the Plants Area. The most interesting and beautiful thing we found in bloom was this Albizia julibrissin or Persian Silk Tree.

We also found the "Tiger's Tail" (Lysimachia clethroides) flowers to be in bloom. Here is a nice shot. In addition - the leaves of Chenopodium album var. centrorubrum are always amazing to see. It's so strange to see a plant with pinkish-red leaves.

On Saturday the 27th we went out to Mitake and took the Cable Car to the top of the mountain and wandered around the mountain searching for flowers. It was such a hazy day that there was nothing spectacular as far as scenery. We found the Mountain Lily plants to be budding out nicely, as shown in the center shot. The 1st and 3rd shots show an interesting plant which has no chlorophyll - it is a species of Monotropa or Indian Pipe.

We also found some great specimens of Saxifraga stolonifera, shown in the first 2 photos. The 3rd shot is another "Tiger's Tail" (Lysimachia clethroides) with Mt. Ohtake as the background.
