💜FIELDS OF FUJIBAKAMA🌿
Each year a parcel of meadow in Ōharano (大原野), to the south west of the city, is transformed into an oasis of thoroughwort. 'Fujibakama-en' (フジバカマ園) is one of the best places in Kyōto to catch sight of this endangered flower 'in the wild'.

Because of their fragrance, fujibakama are also known as 'orchid' (蘭), 'fragrant grass' (香草) and 'dream flower' (夢花).
Heian noble women would often add powdered fujibakama to their baths.At Fujibakama-en (フジバカマ園) it was possible to collect bags of the dried plant✨👃

Last fall we asked Nona (のな) to craft a special sweet inspired by one of the '7 Flowers of Autumn' (秋の七草)...this was the result🙌
'Kaori-gusa' (香り草 'fragrant grass') is another name for fujibakama (藤袴), which has a smell similar to sakura mochi (桜餅) when dried.

The large 'chestnut tiger' (アサギマダラ), a striking butterfly with blue-green marbled wings, feed on fujibakama nectar (and other flowers from the milkweed family).
Depending on the weather the insects appear from April-November, and migrate up to 1000km to their feeding sites!

Nao-san carefully dressed in colours that would compliment the Fujibakama and the beautiful chestnut tiger butterflies (アサギマダラ) that gather to feed on the flowers' nectar✨
Unfortunately the butterflies were absent, likely put off by the surprising October heat🌞🦋🔍😔
