Tulips Again, Purple and Pink Spring Flowers, Rinshi No Mori Park

Spring is coming to an end and summer is around the corner, and my home server is full of photos taken from earlier this year. In late March, the family joined friends at Rinshi No Mori Park for a birthday picnic. The sakura were just coming into bloom, but the other flowers in the park were the ones putting on a show. I couldn't confidently identify these flowers, but I think that the purple ones are hesperis matronalis (or Dame's Rocket) and the bright pink ones may be vervain (or verbena or Holy Herb).
