Rindo (gentian) flowers: Kaizo-ji

The deepening of autumn makes the blue flowers of Rindo bloom on the stalk lying the ground. These flowers open fully toward the sun only on fine days and close at night or on cloudy or rainy days.

The vivid blueness of them might be derived from the transparent azure sky of mid-autumn.

In the crisp sunlight of autumn, the flowers of Rindo are blooming modestly above the ground, where other flowers have almost disappeared and fallen leaves have already lain about.

The ultramarine blue of this flower seems to be gifted by the azure autumnal sky to praise the noble sturdiness of this flower which blooms in the chilliness of this beautiful season.

The lapis lazuli blue flowers of Rindo are blooming like a Hawaiian flower-lei on the green moss-covered ground.

The coral fallen leaves of maple are lying beside these flowers to make an unexpected still-life piece of autumn.
