In the north-east yard of my garden, I found thin purple flowers of Aconitum - 'Tori Kabuto' in Japanese and a lovely purple flower of Tricyrtis hirt - 'Hototogisu' in Japanese. They have been devastated by the extreme heat during these three months and not been watered due to scarce rain this summer. Only the grace of God has saved them to bloom. What a miracle by His hand it is!
