This photo was taken at Yokosuka Shobuen, where I found five purple irises blooming side by side. They were all beautiful in their well-formed shapes. The Yokosuka Shobuen is a vast garden where visitors can enjoy seasonal flowers and plants, and the sight of irises in full bloom in June is spectacular. The irises in June are magnificent, and the sight of them blooming all over the garden is truly a sight to behold. The paths of hydrangea blooms are also tasteful and have a beauty that is unique to the rainy season. In spring, wisteria flowers gently hang down, creating a scene of both splendor and tranquility.
