Seeing iris festival at Omura Park, Nagasaki

Yesterday we had decided to take a drive to Nagasaki🚙 As usual, we bought some rabbit🐰 Chinese new year goods at Min-min boutique shop in Chinatown. Before coming to here, I want to see iris in bloom at Kushima Castle in Omura city. When I looked up some info on iris festival in Nagasaki, the castle's water iris (iris ensata) are starting to bloom in late May. The best time to see the flowers is around the beginning of June. 

The pond's irises are approaching full bloom, with over 80% of the flowers⚘ already open.

Before going to Nagasaki, we went to Omura-jinja (大村神社) Shinto shrine. The shrine is located at the ruin of Kushima Castle, the ancestral home of the Omura clan.
