The cottony communities of Sieversia pentapetala at Kumonotaira are still beautiful. Mixed in among them are Solidago virgaurea subsp. leiocarpa and Gentiana nipponica that provide an autumnal air.
On the other hand, around Hokkaisawa Stream, Phyllodoce aleutica, Phyllodoce caerulea, Primula cuneifolia var. cuneifolia, Potentilla matsumurae, Rhododendron aureum, Sieversia pentapetala and other flowers are forming small communities where the snow has melted.
In both places, it appears that these flowers will end their blooming early at around mid-August, depending on the weather.
