CHIBA — About 1 million blue nemophila flowers have come into full bloom at Mother Farm in Futtsu, Chiba Prefecture.
The nemophila grow in an area of about 5,000 square meters known as the ‘Valley of Flowers’. The flowers tend to close when it rains, like Wednesday. When Thursday morning came, most of them were hanging on the ground. But as the sun shone on them and the temperature rose, the flowers began to open, swaying even though there was no wind. So the ‘Valley of Flowers’, once green with unadorned stems, gradually turned blue.
The farm staff especially recommends viewing and taking photos of the flowers in the morning.
