One of my Japanese mail order plants is blooming in my garage.
I have found it rarely over the years from a couple American nurseries,
so this won\'t be my first opportunity to kill it.
But it\'s certainly the first time I\'ve seen it bloom,
since my prior experience with it has been nothing short of tragic.
So, of course I quickly took a picture,
since I\'m certainly not confident I\'ll ever see it bloom in my yard.
This is Ranzania japonica.
The blooms are pendant, so hard to look up to see the bloom face on.
