The traditional Japanese flower for the month of May is the Ayame blossom (Iris). While Ayame blossoms come in many colors, it is those of a blue hue that are most frequently associated with May.

In our April piece we have captured not only the illusory essence of life but specifically of youth. Every parent knows that our children are...
