Kiri Paulownia Flowers — Botanical Postcard by Megata Morikaga

Clusters of trumpet-shaped purple paulownia flowers hang from a woody branch thick with leaves — the tree the Japanese call kiri, prized for its fast growth and pale timber. Megata Morikaga's illustration lingers on the flower's ruffled throat and the knot in the bark.

A quieter, purple-toned pick for a spring postcrossing swap or a collection built around Japanese trees.
