6 Rare Photos! Plum (Ume) Blossoms AND Nanohana Flowers in Hamarikyu Garden, Japan
Plum (ume in Japanese) blossoms and oil seed rape flowers (nanohana in Japanese) are flourishing at the same time!
As a local, I’d like to tell you that these photos will not be taken again!

Normally,
- The peak of plum blossoms is late February to early March, and
- The season of nanohana is late March to early April, which is almost same to cherry blossoms,
So nanohana flowers come just as plum blossoms leave.

But high temperature in this winter woke up plum blossoms early, and it also made nanohana misunderstand that spring has come.
So we can see white and pink plum blossoms, bright yellow nanohana flowers and the clear blue sky in Hamarikyu Garden! Wow!!
I must say that the last photo is amazing!
Hamarikyu Garden is one of the largest Japanese gardens in Tokyo and famous for its large flower field covered with yellow flowers in spring. When they bloom like a huge yellow carpet with sweet smells, the garden cannot be more beautiful.
