Unfortunately, it was raining during our visit to the flower parks. Also, the season for baby blue eyes and purple wisteria was nearing its end, which was quite a letdown for this trip. However, we understand that this is completely out of human control. The roses were nice, though, and the garden we visited in the evening was quite well decorated, even without the purple wisteria. Our tour guide, Leo, did his job very well. The trip was well organized, and Leo was very thoughtful, taking great care of everyone.
