Ecology

Flowers bloom in meadows and lawns from around May and June. Flowers attract bees and other insects to carry pollen.

Habitat

Sakaigawa

This photo was taken on a June morning in a grassy area along the Sakaigawa River. Small pink flowers were blooming among the weeds. I felt that the intensity of the pink color was slightly different depending on the location. The flowers arranged in a regular spiral pattern were beautiful.
