Nezu Museum Garden

Japan defines its seasons by flowers. And it's Iris season -- flowers that grow in water. Japan has many words for describing colors and I have several Japanese books on color words. But every spring, we are especially reminded of the many ways to describe the spring shades of green.

Irises are among my favourite flowers. I am amazed every year at how many shades of green there are.
