Summer Camellia and Fence;

Linking this post to Floral Friday,Good Fences and Floral Friday Foto;
   "Stewartia pseudocamellia" is called "Summer Camellia, 夏椿 " in Japanese. 

    I never knew this flower until I found it in the Japanese Free-Illustration site.

                                                  I made the header from the site   (details at the end of this page);

  

My late mother used to love the camellia but I don't remember we saw them or she mentioned this flower. Seems a bit hard to have a good chance for photos as it blooms only short while during the rainy season.  

My friend learned there is a tree at the 'sou-rin-ji temple; 宗隣寺'.  

As you can see, unfortunately we found just a few of the flowers(^^;)

Here are the pictures of the temple with many fences;

Entrance and the corridor with wooden fences;

We wash our hands here. The small arrow in the left-side of the picture below shows the  family crest of the land lord who owned around my area. (enlarging photo may help)

Thank you very much for stopping by;

PS> About illustration page; Here is the page but this site has all the same html for each page and takes you instruction page in Japanese... You can try clicking the word '春夏秋冬' (which means the season) at first. Then the square.

I'll be busy today and tomorrow. Sorry for the early posting ;-)
