Flowers in late July

Between the wet days at the end of the long rainy season and the extreme heat of summer I was lucky to get outdoors and photograph some flowers a few days in late July.

A few small lotus flowers were blooming at the Omifuji Botanical Gardens in Kitazakura, Yasu City.

Cultivated plants with bright flowers add color to our neighborhood.
