Adiantum Sp. - A member of the fern family. The Adiantum Sp. has broad, fan-like leaves and is sometimes used in floral arrangements and blessed flowers. In Japan, it grows wild in the southern part of Honshu, and cultivated plants have become wild and can be seen in waterways around Tokyo. Its English name means “hair of Venus".

Astrantia in vivid colors. When fresh, the flowers have a soft, hemispherical shape. The parts that look like petals are called bracts, and are small leaves at the base of the flower. The real leaves are in the center, where the small flowers gather together.

Bishop's Flower - It produces lovely, delicate, lacy flowers. The flowers branch out at the end of long, strong stems, making them easy to use as cut flowers, and they are also popular as flowers for flower arrangements. The appearance of the small flowers huddled together looks as if snow is piled up just there. It can bloom all year round, making it a plant that can be appreciated and enjoyed for a long time.

Dandelion - Slicing the dandelion makes it easier to observe the inside of the cotton wool. The radially open fluff is a highly functional parachute for flying seeds. Each dandelion has nearly 200 delicate hairs.

Euphorbia Sp.Sola Tile encloses plants of the genus Euphorbia. There are as many as 2,000 varieties of euphorbia, and they are grown in a wide variety of forms. "Diamond Frost” with its small white flowers, is one of the most popular, and its lovely blossoms can be enjoyed from early summer to early fall. Some of them can cause rashes from the latex that comes out when the stems are cut, so please be careful when viewing the fresh flowers.

Hare's Ear - An annual herb with bright, fresh colors. It is often used in bouquets and floral arrangements. It is small and has a lovely shape. The flower-like form is called a bract, and the flower is hidden inside the bract.

Larkspur - Enclosed are pressed flowers of staghorn grass, which blooms like an ear on long branches. The flowers are deep blue, purple, white, or pink, with single or double petals. The staghorn grass enclosed in the plate has double-petalled, blue-purple flowers. Although it is a pressed flower, the petals are voluminous, evoking the image of a bird spreading its wings and flapping its wings.

Nemophila - Pressed nemophila flowers with clear blue blooms are enclosed in an acrylic plate. The name comes from the Greek words Nemos, meaning a small forest, and Phileo, meaning to love. The stems grow in a horizontal spreading manner, so if seeds are sown at regular intervals, the nemophila will bloom to cover the ground. Large parks in Japan have established ‘nemophila fields’ where the blue of the sky mixes with the blue of the flowers, creating a spectacular sight.

Viola-Viola is a devastated plant based on a wild species native to Europe, which produces flowers in a variety of colors. It often produces single or two-colored flowers, and this is a pressed viola with purple and yellow petals, enclosed in a plate. They look exactly like pansies, and although the smaller flowers are generally considered violas and the larger ones pansies, they tend to be difficult to distinguish as the size of the flowers varies with growing conditions.
