These are Japanese winterberry flowers (Ilex serrata). Despite their cute smallness, i.e., 3 - 4 mm in diameter, however, the Japanese winterberry is known more for its red fruits produced from September to December. These flowers remind me of longstalk holly flowers, which makes sense. They're both in the Ilex or holly genus.
Hi! I'm Kei Narujima. This is a blog about flowers, plants, and bugs I saw in CENTRAL Tokyo, and sometimes art and Japanese culture that bring you a smile or make you think (or so I hope)!! こんにちは。花や虫、そして時々日本の文化などについて書いてます😊。
