Another example of the various plants and shrubs here. I have been looking for a book with the names of trees and plants but to no avail. We were at a bookstore that has an English section in Tokyo on Saturday but it had nothing. These are much like our mountain ash berries but very different foliage.














Another pretty plant, in fact we had the same plant in our store, only ours was artificial.
This plant has tiny purple berries, and there are others that have white berries.















A garden that we pass on the way to the trains. This one has deep trenches between the onion rows and the trench has charcoal briquettes all down the row. These gardens have many vegetables that are just coming up so I guess they aren't expecting snow anytime soon.
