Japanese Anemone
My First Encounter
I stumbled upon this beautiful flower at a hidden corner of our local botanical garden early this year. That was the first time I had seen such a flower.
The Japanese anemone holds symbolic significance in Japanese culture. It is often associated with anticipation and unfading love, as the flower continues to bloom late into the autumn season when other flowers have faded away.
As such, its vibrant colours continue to paint the garden when other plants begin to fade. Furthermore, its nectar and pollen become a lifeline for late-flying pollinators like the bumblebee.
The Japanese anemone flower is a testament to nature’s ability to provide enduring beauty and support ecosystems even during transitional periods.
