Tsubaki or Peony? Or Something Else?

I bought this tsumugi komon today, but I'm not really sure what the motif is due to the colors being faint and the design lacking detail. I'm thinking it's either tsubaki (camellia) or botan (peony), and I'm leaning toward tsubaki. If it may help in identification, the kimono is hitoe. Help is greatly appreciated!!!

Yellow Tsumugi Kitsuke

I got my yellow tsumugi kimono in the mail today, and I immediately tried it on. I can now see why many people are so fond of tsumugi. The fabric felt amazing to the touch, and it's a dream to wear! I have a feeling that I will be looking for more tsumugi when the kimono coffers are refilled. ;)

Tsuta Nagoya Obi and Stylized Rangiku Men's Yukata

My two purchases of the day:

First is a tsumugi nagoya obi with a tsuta (ivy) motif. It's roughly woven so as to be somewhat sheer, and therefore cool and summery.

Second is a men's yukata for my boyfriend. This one has stylized rangiku (spider mum) on it.

I will post kitsuke pictures when they arrive. ^_^

Yellow Tsumugi

I've been collecting and wearing kimono for four years now, and I have finally gotten an appreciation for wool and tsumugi. In the past, I went for bright and gaudy, but my tastes are changing as I get older and my collection grows. I have a few pieces that I am currently trying to trade so I don't spend too much money, but I really couldn't pass up this gorgeous yellow tsumugi.

I won't be able to wear it until autumn, but that will give me time to coordinate it with a fall obi. I has lines of green, red, and brown thread, so I will be looking for a dyed or painted obi that plays on those colors. My dark red obiage and brown obijime would probably fit nicely with it as far as accessories go, but until I select the obi, I will hold off on that coordination.
