Flower of the Ghosts

Omi-Imazu, Shiga-ken, Japan

Some Japanese believe that these flowers come up as the ghosts of people who died that year depart to the afterlife. These flowers are poisonous so don't go too near them.

It's an important boundary to keep straight, the one between this life and the next. Bright little orange markers seem like a very good idea.
