The japonica flower is a delight to see. The flowers form, and then they form, and then they just keep forming for months and months before this delicate cascade of bells finally shows in early Spring. They take me back fondly to a wonderful trip we made to Japan in 2003.
Can you imagine dainty geisha girls with their ballet like grace
and hair adorned with delicate mauve japoncia flowers tinkling and swaying this way and that as they gently incline their pretty little faces to smile up at you?

How loverly to learn the story of the japonica flower. When I was a girl, my father sent home to me two Japanese dolls. The Geisha doll had pretty flowers like these adorning her hair. Now I know the story. Life is a circle, for sure.
