Spring in Japan is a time when all the plants that had been sleeping over winter suddenly explode into growth. The Ajisai (Hydrangea) is one particular flower found in Japan that has a very great diversity, blooming from early spring to late autumn. This makes them a favorite of gardeners both professional and amateur. Ajisai (Hydrangea) is a floral symbol of the Japanese rainy season.
