Morning Eye Candy: Paper Flowers

Posted in Photography on March 19 2014, by Matt Newman

The Ladies’ Border shows immeasurable spring promise right now, what with these fuzzy wonders just beginning their bloom. It’s often referred to as oriental paperbush, though I personally prefer the alternate: “Mitsumata.” It’s one of the plant species used in the making of the Japanese tissue paper of the same name.
