Good morning. ☺️✨ These soft, cute pink-lavender flowers are Aoi. She's also at GS. I trusted her very much, but after hearing from someone who had worked with Aoi, I told her to "consult with someone at GS." Then, it seemed like I was agreeing with that person, leading to a misunderstanding. It's unfortunate. 😰💦💦
Yumiko（California U.S.A）SAMA✨ Good mornevening, Yuming. 🌅🌃 Your photo of Island mallow（Malva丸葉 assurgentiflora） has such lovely shape and colors. It's wonderful. 🌸🌿😊👌 It also resembles a Dianthus, but in Japan, it is called "Usubeni-aoi".🌸 I posted a photo of Usubeni-aoi to GS last year on May 14th, 2025.📸🌸😄 Two weeks after the post, Oni-chan went to the Kansai Expo 2025 for the first time.♥️💙👀🚃🚇💦 Spring has come again this year in Japan🇯🇵 & California🇺🇸🌴 and it's getting warmer.🤗🙆♀️ I'm looking forward to seeing various spring flowers blooming.🌺🏵️🌸 Hoitara-haru-yayoi-aoi ! 🌞✌️💦
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. This flower came from my garden. Once for a while ~ I will show my flower from my garden. Let’s go for a nice day together!
