Wax flowers (Monotropastrum humile) at Kamikura-jinja Shrine(Kamikura jinja no ginryousou)
神倉神社のギンリョウソウ
Blooming along the side of steep stone steps
The wax flower, which is also known as “corpse plant,” grows in slightly damp places in mountains. However, we have not so many opportunities to see this plant. Here at Kamikura-jinja Shrine, wax flowers bloom in clumps at such places as the root of a tree growing along steep stone steps.
