The buds of Mitsumata in Tokei-ji
Soon the flowers of Mitsumata (Edgeworthia chrysantha) will bloom splendidly as one of the first heralds of spring in Kita-kamakura.
In the intense cold of winter, its downy flower buds, which look like the small paws of silver kittens, are growing steadily for their blossoming.

Haku-mokuren (Magnolia heptapeta) buds in Engaku-ji
Soon the milk-white flowers of Haku-mokuren will bloom gorgeously all at once in the garden of Zen to celebrate the return of springtime.
This particular Haku-moruken tree was gifted to D.T.Suzuki by Lu Xun (a prominent Chinese writer, 1881-1936).
