A Chance Blooming

 a chance blooming

On a summer morning, I happened to find pretty flowers I had never seen in our garden corner. I checked their name on Google Lens and found the name 庭石菖-niwazekishou, annual blue-eyed grass.  It seems to bloom only one day and I was just thrilled by this chance meeting. I felt like thanking their seeds to be blown off or carried by a bird and dropped off in our garden.

It may be a matter of luck, but we can also try to be perceptive and open to the outside world so as not to miss out on any chances.
