Japan Photo of the Week: Cosmoses

I have heard April showers bring May flowers, so this week you get a flower photo. I have to be honest though, this photo was taken in Hokkaido (Northern most island in Japan) where anything that blooms, blooms late due to the really cold climate, so this photo was actually taken last August. These flowers are called, cosmoses and are probably my favorite flower to photograph.

These cosmoses are a place called Farm Tomita, which is in Furano, Hokkaido. Farm Tomita is a very famous flower farm that is really known for it’s lavender, which blooms in late July or early August; however, for most of the summer you can find flowers blooming there. I was there at the end of August. For more information about Farm Tomita, check out the official homepage or my post about Furano and Biei on Japan Photo Guide.
