The Lagotis yesoensis growing along the ridgeline from Mt. Midori to Mt. Koizumi are in their peak viewing season. This plant blooms from the bottom up, and therefore when the top flowers are blooming, those on the bottom are wilting. Consequently, the flowers are most beautiful when two thirds are blooming from the bottom. The very best time should come around the end of this week.
