Konnichiwa, @yasu-san! What a lovely post about the anticipation of Kinmokusei blooming! The sweet fragrance of these flowers is truly unforgettable. Your dedication to observing them for months is wonderful, and I'm excited to follow your journey as you document their bloom this year. The photos you've shared are beautiful, capturing the essence of this special time. I encourage everyone to share their own Kinmokusei experiences or other signs of autumn in the comments! Arigato for sharing this beautiful post!
