Photographed this interesting Violet flower at a park in Nagano City Japan. I have never seen a flower quite like this before and am not sure what it’s called. Please feel free to comment if you know the specific name of the flower. Thank you!

I must admit I am not much of a bath or hotspring person, but I do go to them every now and then because of my family and Japanese in-laws. This was pretty cool found on a drive up into the mountains.
