Kantsubaki flowers bloom in the middle of winter, so it is not uncommon to see them surrounded by snow, and they have long been a popular subject for paintings in Japan.
There was very little snow in my area, but the northern part of Japan experienced record snowfall. A little snow is fun, but too much can be a problem.
Aren't we all glad the snow is leaving now? The first shot must have been a late snow on a bloom? Lovely contrast.

Interesting, we have no such thing locally, what a beautiful combination nestled in snow.
I miss snow. Last years not much of a winter 🥲

Yes, this is going both ways, to two extremes. 🥲
We sometimes get an Easter snow but the weather is very nice today and I’ve opened up the windows!
The weather here is also very nice today. The day before yesterday the temperature reached 30 degrees Celsius, and I thought midsummer had arrived.
I love snow. Thank you for the snow on the flower. Really lovely.
The combination of red flowers and white snow feels very Japanese.
Gorgeous !
