Red spider lilies bloom along Kyoto's rice fields
Original: Early autumn on the outskirts of Kyoto 🌾 Red spider lilies (higanbana) line the roadsides, the edges of the rice fields
In early autumn on the outskirts of Kyoto, red spider lilies, known in Japan as higanbana, are flowering along roadsides, rice field edges and a quiet temple's moss garden. The flowers bloom for only about a week around the autumn equinox, coinciding with the moment the rice turns golden, offering a brief and striking seasonal scene.
Why now: The higanbana's short bloom around the autumn equinox makes it a fleeting seasonal spectacle that people eagerly share each September.
