Golden-rayed Lilies in a castle ruin

 This kind of lily opens in the mid summer at cool places.
 People in my city established a society to preserve the Koyama castle ruin few years ago. They cut undergrowth and plant lilies every year.

 Members of the society have planted  a lily on mounds one by one. Some of them are senior citizens. It would be not easy for them to keep their balance and do this work on a slope.

 We admire the beauty of nature. On the other hand, it would be important to realize that the natural environment near to our residence has been kept by human efforts every year.


I dropped at an old farmer's house.
The wooden house did not use nails or metal parts to fix pillars and beams. 
"Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters!"
Old style Japanese houses are quite comfortable to stay on intense heat days in summer.
This house is now used as a public hall.

  1. The home does look like it would be cool, with high ceilings and all. Those lilies might be some of the prettiest I've ever seen.

  3. Hello rtc, That is quite an unusual lily. Good for the local residents to take the responsibility to preserve and beautify the old ruins.

  4. Dearest RTC.,
    One has to give kudos to the many hands that keep such old castle areas as tidy looking as you show us here.
    Love the mounds with special variety of fragrant Golden-rayed Lilies!
    Great photos and no doubt was the stay at the old wooden farmer's house.
    Love the system of all wood without nails, that is how all of our solid oak French furniture got made.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  6. Beautiful lilies and it's a pleasure to know that the citizens keep natural environment in your area. Of course this work is not easy on the slope.
    Hugs!

    Happy September days.
