“Nadeshiko blooming near the sea”

As I walked along the sea in midsummer, white flowers that I rarely see were in bloom. It was “Hama-Nadeshiko.” Hama means a beach. Hama-nadeshiko is a Nadeshiko flower that blooms along the coast. The flowers had a long stem extending from the cliff and shined white at my feet.  [JULY 2021]
