Pale Purple Flowers Bloom Quietly at Your Feet: the Okinawa Plover, an Endangered Species (Category 2), Is in Bloom in Yomitan Village, Okinawa.

[Yomitan] In late February, the Okinawa orchid, designated as an endangered species (Category 2) in the Ministry of the Environment's Red Data Book, was confirmed to be blooming in Yomitan Village. The flower's petals resemble those of an orchid. The pale purple petals are small, and the plant is less than 10 centimeters tall. It's so small that you could easily step on it if you're not careful. (Tokuzo Yokota, Correspondent)
