大きいDIYの店で、もうつぼみがあった花を買いました。きれいでしょう?
Despite their origins, they are pretty and long-lasting.
Recently I picked up strawberries from the home center, full of pretty white flowers. They were less than $2 each. I think it’s very interesting that they’re called “Tokyo strawberries.” In this urban country, it makes sense to develop and target plants, even vegetables, to city growers.
The label also boasts, “Pure Berry 2” with a registered trademark. But the biggest promise is strawberries in all four seasons. I am looking forward to my first balcony strawberry!
秋に咲くツワブキは伝統的な日本庭園の花です。栽培しやすくて、とてもきれいです。
Tsuwabuki is a traditional Japanese garden flower in fall. Easy to cultivate and very pretty.
I love this Japanese garden flower, called “leopard plant” (farfugium japonicum) in English, or ツワブキ. It has bright yellow flowers in October and November, shiny green leaves, grows and spreads easily in shade, and is a traditional Japanese garden flower. This photo was taken at my friend Takada-san’s stunning garden.
