花水木
Hanamizu-ki, the American Dogwood. In 2012, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Japan’s gift of over 3,000 sakura to Washington DC, the US shipped +3,000 dogwood trees to Japan. They’re quite popular here and many streets are lined with them. Like all of the seasonal flowers though, for most of the year they’re just lying in wait.
