This one day a year and a half ago we went to the beach during a tropical depression and upon coming back from a little walk, noticed someone stuck a sunflower into the sand and it just stood tall and proud. Sometimes, you gotta be a sunflower plopped in the sand standing tall and proud, regardless of what storm is crashing up on your shores ♥️ Much love, my fediverse fam

Looking for gardening advice - I’ve babied this edgeworthia for three years and it has yet to bloom. It gets to this stage, and then.... nothing. This year it has set more buds than ever but not a one seems likely to open. What am I doing wrong??

"Horikiri Iris Garden," Hiroshige, 1856.

The Japanese village of Horikiri was famous for its flowers, many of which were sold in Edo (modern-day Tokyo). The gardens there were also a favorite destination for day trips from the city.

We don't see the actual village here, but we do get some prized irises that grew well in the marshy terrain around Horikiri. This was part of a series of 119 prints Hiroshige made of everyday scenes in Edo and the surrounding area.

From the Brooklyn Museum.
