Blooming in summer

Asagaos, Morning Grolies in English, are blooming beautifully now. Three different color flowers are blooming this morning.

I love Asagaos because they are easy to grow, and very Japanese! Here in Tokyo, it's really hot and humid, but I've been looking forward to see the flowers in summer every year. There are a wide variety of Asagao seeds. The flowers I'm growing are called Yo-haku. Yo means five radial lines on the flowers and Haku means white in Japanese.

朝顔が咲きました。育て方が簡単な上、日本の夏らしいのでここ５年くらい朝顔を育てています。時々違う種を使うのですが、今年は「陽白」という頂きものの種を育てました。「陽」とは花の放射状の５本の線のことで、そこが白いので陽白だそうです。

Thank you for your comment, philippine flowers!
Asagaos are very populer here, and my mother also grows Asagaos, but it's my first time to see like these.
