Sharing the beauty of plants and flowers

[Jesta]

In the trend of recent posts sharing tsuba with themes:

Please share your favourite tsuba with the theme of plants and flowers. I’ll start:

Yo-sukashi design showing a blooming plum tree.

I imagine you’ll get a lot of contributions to this thread! Here are a few from my collection. The third is an Akasaka School tsuba with maple theme.

I might kill two birds with one stone - I am looking for the type of plant this tsuba depicts - five petals, either a shrub or perhaps a vine?

From the National Museum of Norway.

Not sure why this one really appeals to me but it’s a favourite. Large katana, old plum blossom stump before the moon. 
Maybe because it suggests “there’s life in the old dog”🙂🙂

A charming little Ko-Kinko in my collection, understated but I really like it.

One I forgot I had - strange how I bought it at a time I was working packing poppy seed!

[It has an undulating/wavy plate.]

Mountain wasabi by the stream.

Curran,

that one looks older and a bit archaic! Very nice! Do you happen to know the school or maker?

[Okan]

Knotweed...(or maybe Wasabi..who knows.)

A simple piece from my collection, but my favorite as it was my first. Owned by my grandfather,  it was mounted on an officer's sword taken back to the USA after WW2.
