Mark CI came across these little beauties - the asiatic dayflower or "Commelina communis” - on my walk this morning. Little flashes of blue to brighten my day.

Camellia Tea Ceremony'Tsuyukusa' (ツユクサ, 露草, 鴨跖草, 鴨跖) goes by many names, but because its flowers open at dawn and wither at dusk, it is commonly known as the 'dayflower'.
This brief burst of life has made it a symbol of fleeting affections, changes of heart, and nostalgic feelings.

🪻SUMMER BLUES🎨
Despite what the humidity may be telling us outside, the traditional calendar promises that we are now in a season called 'shosho' (処暑 'manageable heat'-August 23rd-September 7th).
From now until autumn the delicate Asiatic dayflower (ツユクサ) begins to bloom.
