Plants are amazingly resilient and they do not complain. Two old varnish trees and one young one grow within a fence. They stand next to the east wing of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. It gives me pleasure to see changing seasons with them. They are so green in summer; whereas they look barren without leaves in winter (I like them that way too). Now I saw one of them having seed pods, rather close to the ground. They will become dry and brownish and eventually fly in fall. The pods look like boats carrying seeds. The circle of life is such a beautiful thing, particularly touching as the trees are survivors of the atomic bombing on August 6, 1945. Try watching them closely and you will see their scars but they never grudge but live fully.
