"Standing by the sparkling water's edge,
a straight beam of light.
Gently opening the door to spring,
your season is about to begin."

“The light of the Japanese spiraea
is a sign of hope that illuminates your year.
I’ll always be right there beside you, too~” 🌼💧

Iris pseudacorus

Iris pseudacorus, yellow iris, or Kishobu Ayame (Scientific name: Iris pseudacorus) is a perennial plant in the family Iridaceae, which is native to Europe.
It is an extractive plant that grows in shallow water such as lakes and marshes.
The root lobes protrude in two rows and have a sword-shaped tip.
In late spring to early summer, yellow iris-shaped flowers are produced at the tips of the flower stems, with three long outer cloaks hanging down and three short inner cloaks rising up.
It is a beautiful flower, but it is a naturalized plant and has a strong fertility, so it is designated as an invasive species that needs attention by the Environment Agency.
