20,000 'Pink Sigh' petunias leave visitors in awe at Mother Farm near Tokyo
FUTTSU, Chiba -- A petunia cultivar called "Momoiro Toiki," or "Pink Sigh," is now in full bloom at Mother Farm, a tourist ranch in this eastern Japan
FUTTSU, Chiba -- A stunning display of 20,000 pink petunias, known as the "Pink Sigh" cultivar, envelops a hillside at Mother Farm, a popular tourist attraction in eastern Japan. The vibrant display, which stretches over 5,000 square meters, has visitors awestruck, prompting audible sighs of admiration. The floral spectacle is anticipated to persist until late September.
Momoiro Toiki, the botanical marvel behind the breathtaking sight, is the collaborative brainchild of Akemi Sugii, a Chiba Prefecture horticulturist from Minamiboso, and Chiba University. Despite a challenging year marked by excessive rainfall, which hindered the plants' growth, the Momoiro Toiki finally burst into peak bloom in early August.
The farm was abuzz with activity on August 8th, as families and couples flocked to capture the picturesque scene. Among them was Chiharu Shibuya, a 31-year-old civil servant hailing from Yokohama. She marveled at the field of flowers, likening its appearance to a "beautiful pink carpet against the azure midsummer sky."
