Just outside of the kitchen garden,
glory bush (Tibouchina urvilleana) is in bloom now.
We transplanted it from the central bed of the main garden several years ago.
It generally flowers in mid-autumn, however,
our glory bush used to flower in late autumn to winter.
Two years ago, a strong cold wave hit our area,
the strongest in fifty years,
and it looked to die.
But in spring, it came to life again,
and it bore flowers last spring, and it flowers again now.
At last it bears flowers in the right season.

ポタジェのすぐ外にノボタンが今咲いています.
数年前にメインガーデンの中央花壇から移植しました.
ノボタンは普通は秋に咲きますが、
うちのノボタンは晩秋から冬に咲いていました.
2年前に50年ぶりの強い寒波が襲って
枯れたようになりましたが、
去年の春に復活、
今年の春に花をつけ、そしてまた今咲いています.
ついにちゃんとした時期に咲くようになりました.
