Flora in Japan

The wife – being the lover of plants and a horticulture hobbyist – was constantly observing the interesting plants, trees and shrubbery in winter everywhere we went, and frequently stopping to take pictures using her Samsung Note 9 of things she saw. Sometimes because of how beautiful it looked, and other times because she wanted to bring pictures back home to use in her lessons. Here is a small sample of the pictures she took, and my best recollection of where they were taken!
