A Hydrangea By Any Other Name
Here’s one of favorite non-food pix from my last trip to Japan. It’s the beautiful Hydrangea flower or Ajisai in Japanese. Snapped this in Kyoto at the famous Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
My aunt actually grows the flower here in Singapore too, funny thing is when I first heard the name ‘Hydrangea’, and I heard it as ‘Night Ranger’. I remember thinking to myself ‘that has got to be the coolest name for a flower ever!’
And here’s how it looks with a snail munching on it! I'm trying to make this a food blog so I had to show someone or something eating!

Hi Cavalock
That is one of the most beautiful flowers i've ever seen, does have a scent?
I've never seen one in Singapore before.
Well, i guess its acceptable to snap a picture of the snail munching and count it as one of food blog's entry..hee
Lovely blue colour.
that is so cool!!! to be able to catch the snail!
