November 17th – November 21st is Winter – Ritto (Beginning of winter)-57th KOU “Daffodils bloom”
Daffodils are winter flowers, and some varieties (NIHON-ZUISEN) start blooming in mid-December.
However, here in SHINSHU, they are flowers welcoming spring, so we need to wait until spring to see the flowers. Though, they actually are preparing to bloom already. See the leaves emerging from the ground in a sunny spot!
I hope they will surely survive the harsh winter of SHINSHU and bloom in full in spring.
