Hakuunboku (Styrax obassia) flowers: Engaku-ji
The elongated flower cluster formed from the separate white flowers open in succession appears like a snow-white cloud floating in the sky, which is the origin of the Japanese given-name "Haku-un-boku" (white cloud tree) of this kind of tree.

Haku-un-boku (Styrax obassia) flowers: Jochi-ji
After a long time, this year is a very good
year for the flowers of Haku-un-boku (white cloud tree).
The numberless clusters of white flowers
are hanging down from the branches on which the fresh green leaves are
trembling in the breeze.

Hakuunboku (Styrax obassia) flowers in Jochi-ji
In the mild afternoon sun, the white flower clusters of Haku-un-boku are floating on the balmy breeze and emitting a fragrant soothing aroma into the air.
The name "Haku-un-boku" means "white cloud tree." The flowering season of these cloud-like flowers is only a week or so.
Like fleecy clouds drifting across the sky, these flowers fade away swiftly in the flow of time.

Hakuunboku (Styrax obassia) flowers in Jochi-ji
The Japanese name "Hakuunboku" means a tree which bears white-cloud-like flowers.
This plant is also called "fragrant snowbell" because its flowers look like snow-white bells and emit strong sweet fragrances.
Countless bumblebees were buzzing busily from flower to flower in a rapture of delight.
