  1. Namba-jinja is also famed for its June 'Iris Festival' (あやめ祭/菖蒲神事).

    Flowers are dedicated and 2 dancers mimic the reaping of irises (菖蒲刈り).

  2. My favourite flowers in the garden are now in full bloom: these tiny irises always appear so suddenly, and look what a show they put on!

  3. Good morning humans! My wife's #irises continue to celebrate this time of year. The black and yellow one is my favorite, called a bumble bee.

    Stay safe out there, the world can be a rough place sometimes.

  5. Irises have a special meaning at this time of year, and in the teahouse we serve 'ayame-mochi' (あやめ餅).

    It was believed the plants could ward away evil and cleanse impurities, and so it was common to see them hung from the eaves of houses.
