Nemophila in Japan - Baby Blue Eyes!

🦋Nemophila in Japan - Baby Blue Eyes! Small but mighty, these flowers are impossible to ignore. Originally from North America, these charming annuals are poetically named 'Rurikarigusa' in Japan, and nicknamed 'Baby Blue Eyes' in Chinese. Just hearing the name warms the heart. 🪻Standing at about 20cm tall, the flowers themselves are only 2-3cm in size, but their charm is undeniable.

This is the magic of Baby Blue Eyes, a beauty you can only truly appreciate in person. 🗺️The park is quite large, so don't forget to grab a guide map at the entrance to avoid getting lost. 🐰After entering from the parking lot, you'll first encounter a zoo where you can interact with adorable animals before heading to see the Baby Blue Eyes and snapping some beautiful photos. 🎡Next, head to the amusement park area and take a ride on the Ferris wheel for a panoramic view of the entire park. 🧁🍧🍦Finally, enjoy some seasonal Nemophila ice cream and browse the nearby shops.
