I have had this plant since the 2012 season. It has been very hard to get flower pictures. It puts up many scapes that the rabbits love to take down. The one series of flowers I could get were deformed with no filaments holding up the anthers. Many times buds would form and not open.
Yakushima Mizu in late 2012 showing rabbit eaten scapes in the center and a new very late scape coming in on the left
And in the 2013 season with flowers
Picture showing 3 anthers in the throat of the flower
