Colours of Spring in Kyushu, Japan - part 2

In the beginning of the spring season *April*; I have shared some beautiful species of flowers here in Kyushu Island such as Sakura (cherry blossoms), Ume (plum/apricot blossoms), Momo (peach blossoms), Nanohana (vegetable flower), Tulip, and Quince in the entry Colours of Spring in Kyushu, Japan.

For today's entry, I would love to share some other beautiful species of flowers to add up in the collection of the "colours of spring" during the end of spring season as captured here in Kyushu Island. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do.


(1) Lilac Wisteria

Aside from Roses there is no flower quite as beautiful and aromatic as Lilac. Unfortunately, Lilacs bloom for only a very brief period in the spring. Weather will have a lot to do with how long Lilac will bloom for. We found these hanging clusters of lilac purple flowers at a shrine nearby to our house.

Excuse the selekeh-ness of our clothes because we didn't plan to go do any photo shoot at first. * "ko bajet ko artis ke ada orang kisah kalau ko pakai comot2 dalam gambar, diorang nak tengok bunga bukan nak tengok ko" ; bisik hati kecil daku*. We were actually on our evening stroll by the seaside before we bumped into these lovely flowers.

Bloom season for Lilac Wisteria is in late spring i.e. between May - Jun.


(2) Poppy

Poppy flowers have 4 to 6 petals. Petals may be almost any color, and some have markings. Before blooming, the petals are crumpled in the bud, and as blooming finishes, the petals often lie flat before falling away.

(3) Daisy

The daisy is a delightfully simple flower that is renowned for its variety of brilliant colors. Colors include white, cream, yellow, gold, pink, magenta, salmon, orange, red and bi-colors.

(4) Azalea

Azaleas bloom in spring, their flowers often lasting several weeks. Shade tolerant, they prefer living near or under trees.

(5) Lupine

The lupin, also known as the lupine, is a tall perennial with spiky flowers that lend grace to any garden. It grows wild in many parts of the world.

Wild lupins are generally a rich blue or purple, but some species produce pink, red, violet, white or yellow blooms.

(6) Wildflowers

A wildflower is flower that grows wild, meaning it was not intentionally seeded or planted.

In this picture below, those wildflowers are obviously intentionally seeded and planted because it has form into those nice shapes of butterfly in the beautiful garden at Uminonakamichi Park.

Since we are in the end of Spring and Summer is just around the corner, the weather was a bit unpredictable with heavy rains and sunny day alternately takes over. Regardless of the weather condition these days, I am blessed to be given this golden chance by Allah to experience the joy of spring in Kyushu for this year. Thank you Allah ~ Alhamdulillah.
