Welcome to **Hardworking Plants of Nishinomiya**, a section where we introduce weeds and wildflowers toughing it out around Nishinomiya, kind of like the famous “gutsy daikon” growing where you’d least expect it.
This article is brought to you by “ALBOBBY,” a salon that supports Nishitsu.
This time, we’re looking at this spot in “Kumoi-cho” ↓
There’s pretty much no soil here at all.
Why did it choose this place of all places??
You’ve probably seen this flower around pretty often!
It grows in places like this.
There are other plants too, and they’re all really hanging in there 😅
I looked up this flower using an app called “google lends”!
It was my first time using “google lends,” but wow, it’s super convenient 😳
Just upload a photo and it tells you what kind of flower it is!
Apparently, this common flower is called “Onitabirako”.

Written in kanji, it’s “鬼田平子”!?
It kind of sounds like a pen name 😂
It’s a plant in the Asteraceae family, the same family as dandelions.
Here’s the map for Kumoi-cho ↓
