あじさい Ajisai

Ajisai, or Hydrangea, is a rainy season flower in Japan. It changes colour according to the ph levels; when the soil is acidic, it turns blue, and when it is alkaline, it becomes pink. This changeability made the flower unpopular with the samurai. It was revived in Japan after the Western world seemed to take interest in it. This ajisai farm/garden was on a hill in Izumi. It was gorgeous even though it was rainy and overcast that day..
