Henbit deadnettle (Lamium amplexicaule) can be found across Japan. The plant is supposed to produce flowers from March to June but as you can see in these photos, it has flowers throughout the year but summer. The flowers have a unique shape with spots, which plays an important role to attract pollinators, like bees. Its Japanese name means "lotus seat for Buddha." How lovely would it be to sit on it!😊
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😊。
