Spring flowers are in bloom one after another. Now we can look at blue and white German iris flowers and light green euphorbia flowers in the central flower bed.
(春の花が次々と咲いています。今は中央花壇にジャーマンアイリスの青と白の花、そしてユーフォルビアの黄緑の花が咲いています。)
This is wild euphorbia; Euphorbia helioscopia which I found at the roadside. It can be seen at in southern part of Japan.
(これは野生のユーフォルビアのトウダイグサで、道端で見つけました。日本の南の地方でふつうにみられます。)
White flowers of Gymnaster savatieri are also blooming under the plum tree. Its Japanese name is 'Miyako-Wasure', which means 'Forgetting the Capital (Kyoto)'. This name derived from a story of an emperor who was condemned to exile in 13th century. He could forget Kyoto when he looked at this flower.
(ミヤコワスレの白い花はスモモの木の下で咲いています。日本名はミヤコワスレで、京都を忘れるという意味です。13世紀の流罪になった天皇の話に由来します。この花を見ると、都への思いを忘れることができると言われたという逸話です。)
Very beautiful!!! :)
