今年は久しぶりに蓮の花が続々咲いてくれています。
台風からの避難も兼ねて母が切り花にし、床間に生けていました。
ちょうど2022年の蓮の拓画を飾っていたので蓮の共演になりました。
This year, for the first time in a long time, lotus flowers are blooming one after another.
My mother cut them and arranged them in the alcove of her house as a shelter from the typhoon.
I had just hung a takuga of the lotus from the year 2022, so it became a lotus co-starring.

First day of blooming.The buds alone have a large presence.

Day 2. Even though it was a cut flower, it bloomed again in the morning sun.

With blooming flowers and takuga. My brother said it looks like a temple….

Day 4. Finally, only one petal was left.

It’s ephemeral but somehow very artistic.
