Japan's wildflowers are mostly very subtle and delicate,
but beautiful nevertheless. These mauve flowers provide
a lovely carpet for the dogwoods as they start to leaf
up for the summer.

Even in their chaos there is a sense of order in nature

I fully agree. I don't see ground cover wildflowers like this too often in Japan. The wildflowers
seem to be either very tiny, and hiding away in the shadows, or big and bold, like the amazing, deep blue
hydrangeas that proliferate around waterfalls in Saga, and around Kyushu in general. Thanks for visiting.
