Would just like to know what types of trees these small ones from Southern Japan are - namely the one with the ribbon on it and the ones in the background on the right.
Name: Daisy I Reno, Nv (Zone 6b) Not all who wander are lost
The one with the ribbon reminds me of Magnolia. Maybe someone will recognize it. Are you sure it was a tree and not a large shrub?
The one to the right looks like bamboo.
