Mt. Kurodake flowering report

Some flowers are starting to wilt, perhaps as a result of the recent heavy rain. Nonetheless, from the 8th Station up to the peak, the Hypericum kamtschaticum shown in the photo, Trollius riederianus, Filipendula camtschatica, Solidago virgaurea subsp. leiocarpa, and other flowers create vibrant scenes along the trail.
Additionally, the Aconitum yamazakii, Parnassia palustris var. palustris, and other autumn flowers are starting to become noticeable. Mt. Kurodake’s “mountain of flowers” look continues.
