flowers and rock 花と石 (gifu, japan)

Posted by timothy sullivan (Tokyo, Japan) on 19 June 2008 in Plant & Nature.

a few flowers i'd seen at Eihō-ji temple in tajimi. i know this sounds a little strange, but one of my favorite things to do as of late is to learn the names of different flowers and trees--things that i see every day in my traipses about the city (and the countryside!)
this little beauty is called "kokiku" (小菊) in japanese; apparently in english it is known as "florists chrysanthemum".
