On the Mt. Aka course, the Gentiana algida f. igarashii near the peak have finally started to bud; however, all other conspicuous flowers have stopped blooming. At Daiyon Sekkei, flowers of the Sieversia pentapetala, Phyllodoce aleutica, Arnica unalaschcensis var. unalaschcensis, and Veronica stelleri var. longistyla are now visible, although many wilting flowers are seen throughout Komakusadaira and other areas. At Daiichi Kaen, small communities of Sieversia pentapetala are spreading throughout the area.
The Phyllodoce caerulea and Phyllodoce aleutica will begin blooming in areas where the snow has melted slowly. Then, from early August, the fall flower season will arrive all over the mountain, marked by the gradual appearance of Gentiana algida f. igarashii, Aconitum yamazakii, and other flowers.
