Fuukiran season is all but done here in southern Japan. Here are a few of the odd flowered varieties.
The double spurred, double lipped 'soubiryu':
The famous 'seikai'; perhaps the most unusual fuukiran of all:
Finally, 'shunkyuuden':
This season has been a bit odd - the plants started to flower a bit late and have remained in bloom later than usual as well. The only plants that have yet to bloom are the southern forms from the islands of Kagoshima Prefecture, commonly called the Amami Island forms. They should be doing their thing by week's end.
