What is the pink thing of the rice fields??

Hello.
This is May in Japan.

When it is spring, the rice field turns pink.


What is the pink thing of the rice fields??
The answer is a plant called an Astragalus sinicus.

We call it, "Rengesou" in Japanese.

The flower of Astragalus sinicus is used as a honey source.
It is also cultivated as a green manure in the rice fields.

I love sweet fragrances of Rengesou !!
