SAPPORO — Corydalis ambigua and dogtooth violet flowers are now in full bloom at Urausu Shrine in the town of Urausu, Hokkaido. Visitors enjoy watching these flowers growing in clusters at the shrine, and the Eurasian red squirrels who visit to the field of flowers.

The blue corydalis ambigua and pink dogtooth violet flowers spread like a carpet on the grounds of the shrine, with squirrels standing in and weaving through the flowers.
