Mountainous Color. Tradescantia, Spiderwort, in the Chûgoku's, Miyoshi, Honshû, Japan
On the way from Hiroshima to Matsue, the Highway Bus made a short restorative stop near Myoshi. The scenery was spectacular, but also the colorful flower borders of the stop-over.
Here's a Spiderwort, Tradescantia, named, of course, after that great botanist father and son John (c.1570-1638) and John (1608-1662) Tradescant. This is the horticultural variety and its brightness would have lifted my heart were it not already high in the mountains. The view is from a bus window and hence just a bit 'murky'.
