I've been wanting to visit this beautiful place ever since I first heard
about it a couple of years ago from my friend Annie. Most of the flower
fields I visit around Okinawa are random fields or are part of a
festival but this garden is a little more special. Forty or so years ago
this cute little lady name Uto Yohena started planting hydrangeas in
her tangerine field along the paths between the trees. Eventually the
flowers started dominating the trees and long story short we have this
beautiful garden that she opened up to the public in 2001. Today she is
99 years old!! Isn't that amazing?! I was excited to meet her and hear
about her experience and tell her how beautiful the garden was. Well, I
met her and turns out she doesn't speak a lick of English haha. But I'm
sure she knows.
This is Uto! Lucy was OVER the pictures clearly.
There are more than 10,000 hydrangea and you can weave all around the garden to see them all.

It's also worth mentioning that it was SO INCREDIBLY HOT this day. We were all completely covered in sweat from head to toe. I don't know how you can't tell in these pictures. Summer is here! The humidity is insane.
Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers. I loved this place!
heart shaped!
miss independent right there^
Here's a moment that I died of cuteness. Lucy helps Duke water his tomato plant. So she starting "watering" the flowers with her water bottle. It looks more like she was offering them a drink. I love her.
my little fashionista! She loves hats
they crack me up with their adult accessories
