Fukujyu-so (Adonis ramosa) flowers in Engaku-ji
The vivid yellow flowers of Hukujyu-so are blooming in a rush as if to be surprised by the early arrival of spring.
These flowers generally bloom in the cold season (in February and early in March) before the warmth of spring spreads through the air.
For standing the coldness, this flower closes when it doesn't get enough sunlight and it opens again when it catches the sun once more.
The word "Hukyju" means "happiness and longevity."

Fukujyu-so (Adonis ramosa) flowers in Engaku-ji
After the unseasonal one-night snow, I found the small flowers of Fukujyu-so blooming inconspicuously in the mild morning sunlight.
”Fukujyu-so” means "the plant of long life and happiness" and its flowers blossom as an early and brilliant forerunner of spring.
The lingering snow, which seemed to be a last trace of winter in the garden, disappeared from view soon in the warmth of the sun.
