Hydrangea is a symbolical flower with the wet season in Japan. June in Japan is usually wet in everywhere besides Hokkaido, the northern island in Japan. This wet season is called "tsuyu", which literally means "Japanese plum (Ume) rain", but the relation between Japanese plum and rain is not clear. Some people say it is the time for Japanese plum to ripen, but no evidences.
Regarding to the rainy season, we have two rainy seasons in Japan; one is the period from June to early July, the other is from the end of August to the beginning of October, the same time of typhoon attacking at Japan.
I say "wet season" instead of "rainy season", because I would like to distinguish with each other and this season is more wet and makes feel blue.
