Hassaku Orange Tree Flowers 八朔の花
Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。
It smelled good there, like Daphne, but the Daphne season was over more than a month ago. So, I walked around and found the source. Hassaku orange flowers were in bloom, emitting a citrus aroma so strongly that I smelled it through a mask. After checking nobody was around me, I took off the mask for the first time in more than a year outside and breathed deeply!😉

I've taken photos of many plants recently, so sometimes I forget where I took them, like these pictures. There's a good thing, though. The color of the flowers has changed for the last two weeks, i.e., they were purple on April 9 while slightly bluish on April 26! Thanks to my forgetfulness, I was able to enjoy the beauty of gromwell twice😊
