So this is what cosmos flowers look like!
Location: Kasai Rinkai Park. Recently, the temperature in Tokyo has been dropping. Thinking that it would be even colder by the sea, I specifically wore a full set of thick Heatec thermal underwear and pants. ππΈ I had heard of cosmos flowers a long time ago. Every time I imagined them in my mind, I pictured a hot and arid ancient Central Asian country where the king and queen had a daughter in their old age. This only princess was as beautiful as a fairy but was born weak and often ill. During her full moon, a high fever brought her to the brink of death. Just as the king was in tears, a rain of cosmos flower petals began to fall from the sky. ππΈ People said it was a miracle because cosmos flowers, which can bloom in water-scarce sandy soil, symbolize the power of life. The gods didn't want to see the princess die young and were giving her a hint. So, the old king built the most magnificent palace for the princess and ordered ten thousand cosmos flowers to be planted inside to nourish and protect his frail daughter with their gentle fragrance. The princess was thus called "Princess Cosmos" by the common people. ππΈ The biting sea wind brought me back to reality in a second. I was shivering, but the flowers were in full bloom, competing for beauty. It's no wonder that they are the symbol of the power of life, blooming so well in such cold weather. The flowers are stronger than people. I finally got to see them. ππΈ #CosmosFlowers #TakeYouToSeeTheFlowerSea #FlowerSea ππ
