Orchids show - Tokyo Grand Prix 2017
 

(Amidst horrible world news) I stumbled upon these. A video is worth a zillion words, so I'll shut up and let you check these out:

Orchids show - Tokyo Grand Prix

Tokyo Dome International Orchid Festival 2017 - The Tokyo Grand Prix - YouTube

Orchids show - Fukuoka

Orchid Plant Show, Orchid Exhibition Fukuoka 2017 - YouTube

Moonsoon landscape (and sounds. My favorite, I put this one on continuous loop for my weekend mornings.)

Nature scenes in Japan - plants and animals of the monsoon season - YouTube

Lastly, a mouthwatering morsel of a video (wait until you see the sushi "side" plate.)

Edible wild plants road trip - collecting bamboo shoots in Japan - YouTube

from botanyboy1 (US expat Tom living in Japan "and addicted to all things green..."). Take a look at his youtube page if you want more (featuring some wonderful - and longer - japanese landscape meditation videos as well, plus interesting lady slipper chinese expeditions and other botanical goodies.) He aslo has a website which is more encyclopedic.

Enjoy! :bowing
