Thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kevin.cameron.92505\" data-hovercard=\"\/ajax\/hovercard\/user.php?id=691573202&amp;extragetparams=%7B%22directed_target_id%22%3A0%7D\" data-hovercard-prefer-more-content-show=\"1\">Kevin Cameron<\/a> for inviting us along on a hike with a local walking club out of Nagoya! The bulbs were in the past used as a source of starch, the leaves and flowers also being eaten (but shouldn&#8217;t be wild harvested nowadays as some sources consider it as endangered). I&#8217;ve never seen so many people out flower watching, so many cameras trained at the flowers&#8230;a bit like twitchers watching some rare bird&#8230;.we could call them flitters perhaps!<\/p>\n<p>We took the train from Nagoya to Kanigawa station in Kani city on the edge of Nagoya&#8217;s urban sprawl, then walked to Yunohana hot springs spa and market on the river, popped in to one of the walking group&#8217;s friend&#8217;s house for tea, snack and a garden wander before walking to the katakuri area in a nature reserve area. \u00a0Finally, we followed a trail up on to the hill where there was a distant view of Japan&#8217;s second highest volcano Mt. Ontake. We followed Kevin and daughter back to the spa for a hot bath, while the rest of the group carried on the trail to take the train back from a different station.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve had a katakuri in my garden for several years but it doesn&#8217;t get much larger and seems to be self-sterile (pictures of my plants can be seen in the gallery on this page: <a title=\"Around the world with Erythroniums\" href=\"http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/?p=9442\">\u00a0http:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/?p=9442<\/a><\/p>\n<p>First a gallery of pictures of the katakuri woods followed by 4 videos! This is followed by two more galleries of pictures from this wonderful day!
