The next morning the villagers found a beautiful flower where the woman had last been seen.
As the petals were the same colour as her purple hakama, they concluded she was the spirit of the unknown flower and named it 'fujibakama' (藤袴).

Unfortunately the butterflies were absent, likely put off by the startling heat🌞🦋🔍😔

💜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'.
