信州伊那高原(長野県箕輪町の上古田地区)には、ヒマヤラ産のそばを品種改良を行った 珍しい赤そば(高嶺ルビー)の広大な畑「赤そばの里」があり、9月下旬〜10月上旬頃 真紅の花が見頃を迎えます。While the flowers of soba in Japan are typically white, the seeds of soba with red flowers were once brought to this area from the Himalayas and are now growing in a wide 4.2-hectare field. From the middle of September to early October, these unusual red soba flowers are in full bloom.http://www.aquageographic.com/biz/4K_...
