Hana-shoubu are in full bloom (Heian-jinguu Shrine,Kyoto)

In Japan, "Hana-shoubu" flowers (Japanese Iris) are in full bloom now.
I visited "Shin-en" garden in Heian-jingu Shrine today.
There were so many Iris flowers,blooming beautifully.
I love these graduated deep violet colors.
Iris Flower Meaning is "trust", "truth", "The importance of someone's friendship".
Hope you'll enjoy these photos!
