After the arrival of plum blossom season, Tanpopo (たんぽぽ, Dandelion) and Fukujyuso (福寿草, Adonis) flowers can be seen on many grassy roadsides.
Dandelion is a strong plant which can bloom even at cracks of asphalt. Though it is merely a weed, it brings a sense of early spring to us. Fukujyuso is regarded as an auspicious flower since its name "福寿" means happiness and longevity.
It's so nice to enjoy the view of gorgeous plum flowers or cherry blossom, yet these tiny little flowers at your footsteps bring you the first breeze of spring.
