Hydrangea
This image is a hydrangea. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, including Japan. The rainy season in Japan is hot and humid, but it also brings a sense of anticipation to people. The reason is that beautiful hydrangeas bloom. The more it rains, the more the hydrangeas sparkle. I would like to introduce such a lovely flower, the hydrangea.
