GIFU — Nemophila flowers have begun to bloom at Gifu World Rose Garden in Kani, Gifu Prefecture.

The garden has an about 3,000-square meter flower bed with around 80,000 nemophila plants, which are expected to reach their peak in April.

Cherry trees are also located near the flower bed. A spokesperson of the garden said, “I hope visitors will simultaneously enjoy both the blue of the nemophila and the pink of the cherry blossoms, which can only be seen at this time of year.”
