Higanbana

It's that time of year again, when the higanbana (also called equinox lily, spider lily, or even hurricane lily in the hurricane belt of the USA) spring from nowhere. Mostly they are red but here's a white one for a change, in the peaceful Zen garden at our local temple Zuisenji.


Not really so peaceful when there are cicadas screeching all around! That's just one by itself, they are fading away now but for the past few months it has been quite a cacophony.
