Wild flower in autumn


Wild flower in autumn, originally uploaded by photoholic image.
I found wild flowers called Gentiana scabra or Japanese gentian in a thicket when I strolled around a park.
We called it "Rindou" in Japanese and it's a typical autumnal flower in Japan. Normally, it starts to bloom from end of August to end of September. However, the flowers of Gentiana scabra are still in bloom. As for the flowering of the Gentiana scabra being late, heat in September and October is thought to be a reason. According to the information from the Meteorological Agency of Japan, the average temperature of September and October in my area was 1.8 degrees Celsius higher than the past years.

Best looking is in lightbox with full-screen (F11).

Have a great day and all the best to you all!!!
