Beginning of the flower season

2016-03-27 12.05.14In front of my house are rhododendrons coming into flower buds. They are of wild species but might be planted by someone, and will beautifully bloom soon.

2016-03-27 12.06.04There is a little plant with cute flowers in the fallen leaves at the edge of a slope where I park my car, and just across are daffodils still in full bloom by a neighbor’s place.

2016-03-27 12.19.17On the way to Hanase, I saw cherry trees start to blossom. A magnolia tree was showing off its white flowers full of the branches.2016-03-27 12.21.22 I passed by a hedge with full of flowers with single and double petals. I mistook them for roses at a glance but found out they weren’t. I wondered if they were also a kind of rhododendrom.

It’s a beautiful and joyful time to eyes, but unfortunately,  it’s also a torturous season to my eyes with the allergy to pollens. (Well, the pollens as the allergens are from anemophilous plants that are cryptogamous and different from the plants with those good-looking flowers, though…)

2016-03-27 12.46.32There were patches of the snow on the ground in the shade under a tree when I went beyond the Hanase pass. Although it was rather warm during the day time as I was working on building a sun deck, it rained with sleet on the way back after dark. It seemed like the season over there was still one month behind.
