Flower Viewing in Saitama

In October I went to Tokyo for a 4-day weekend and got to see a bunch of friends, but, of course, didn't take many pictures, I really need to work on that!


One of the highlights that I DID take pictures of was flower viewing in Saitama Prefecture (northwest of Tokyo) with Chiharu and her parents.

This is Chiharu.



We were surrounded by fields that looked like this.



This is what the actual flower looks like.
It's called higanbana or cluster amaryllis.

This lonely white higanbana drew a lot of attention.



There were also great cosmos fields.
