SATOYAMA sights in winter - KARASU-URI and HIGAN-BANA

I would like to start my blog from several plants which can be seen in SATOYAMA (Japanese traditional countryside such as rice fields with woods)  in winter.

I come home town in every new year holidays. My home town where I spend boyhood years is SATOYAMA. There are many kind of wild plants around my house.
I can find a few kind of wild berry even if winter. This time I found KARASU-URI (means crow melon, one of wild melon) which is fully ripe and turned red. Some of them are eaten by something (crow? monkey?). Just one berry is hang down in a branch.  

I walked around rice fields more.
There are so many leaves of HIGAN-BANA (means equinoctial week flower, red spider lily) over stonewall banks of rice fields.

The flower of HIGAN-BANA is like this;

 
It blooms in just equinoctial week. Almost rice fields in Japan are colored in red by HIGAN-ANA in that season. But leaves of the flower are extended only in winter for saving energy to bloom.
