I Love Ikuta Ryokuchi #6: Titanbiscus, Madagascar Periwinkle, Verbena (2025-08-20)

The heat has returned, but
I did my best and went to Ikuta Ryokuchi again today.
As expected, there is no one around on a hot weekday morning!
It's like I have the place all to myself!

Globe Amaranth

Titanbiscus were also blooming more than before.

Dawn Redwood Forest

I didn't know the name when I came here before, but it had a name tag hanging on it!
Hanaikada (Raft Plant).
The black ones are apparently the fruit left after the flowers bloom.
