Today a sudden shower watered my tiny yards very much; every plant looks lovely after that heavy rain. June is a rainy season in Tokyo, and it lasts until mid July as always. However, the way it rains changes very much in comparison with my childhood. It was a series of rainy days during June ten years before, now it is sudden rain after a series of dry and very hot days. The change of the way of rain has drastically has a great impact on species of plants that survive this challenging situation. I'm very much worried about which species of Japanese original ones can survive it.
