Hana-shobu (Iris sanguinea) flowers in Meigetsu-in
Hana-shobu flowers are at best just now and are gracefully ornamenting the deep green gardens of early summer with their royal purple petals and dark sword-like leaves under the calm rainy sky.
Only the constant wetness of this particular season can make it possible for such watery and majestic flowers to blossom so dignifiedly.
Thankfully, these enchanting colors of Hana-shobu confer pure and excellent delights on us in these rainy melancholic days.
In Buddhist's culture, flowers symbolically represent the infinite mercy and wisdom of Buddha. These noble flowers bring us bountiful blessings very generously.

The beauty of this flower must be derived from the abundant rainwater of this season.
The thick drooping petals of this iris bears plentiful water and the azure of water may create the marvelous tints of purple in combination with the rosy pigments of this flower.
Hana-shobu flowers are the pleasant incarnation of the gentle rain shower in this season.

Hana-shobu (Iris sanguinea) flowers in Tokei-ji
The long spell of rainy weather in early summer has begun deliberately and the delicate flowers which have waited for this rich moist season are starting to bloom elegantly all at once under the overcast sky.
Plants get sprinkled with the blessed rain and absorb the rainwater to grow vigorously. Insects emerge abundantly and simultaneously from the watery dense growth of trees and shrubs. Birds lively flit from tree to tree twittering merry songs to seek for insects just after every rainfall.
The flowers of iris, which are clothed in purple satin petals, must be the noble daughters of the merciful rain of this season.
