Almost all flowering has ended on the Mt. Midori ridgeline. Now is the time for enjoying a quiet walk on the mountain. Sieversia pentapetala, Phyllodoce aleutica, and other snowfield plants have begun blooming between Daiichi Hanabatake and the Eiko no Sawa rocky slope. Flowers will gradually pop open one after another where the snow has melted, allowing enjoyable viewing until around mid-August.
The snowy gorges have grown smaller, with that on the edge of Daiichi Hanabatake measuring about 90 meters and those between Daini Hanabatake and the Eiko no Sawa rocky slope measuring roughly 20 meters and 25 meters.
