ECHIUM CANDICANS (エキウム開花)

 

Echium candicans, also known as Pride of Madeira, is native to the Madeira Islands. It is a perennial herb and can grow up to 2 meters tall.

In spring, it produces long flower spikes with numerous small blue flowers.　

We have been growing them from seeds for several years now, and now have many seedlings growing from spilled seeds.　

The flowers bloom every year for a couple of years and then die off.

Last spring this flower bloomed wonderfully in the main garden, but this year it has grown many flower spikes at the edge of the bluebell garden and is now starting to bloom.

エキウムカンディカンスはPride of Madeiraとも呼ばれ、マデイラ諸島の原産です. 多年草で、高さは2メートルほどになります. 

春に長い花穂を伸ばし、無数の青い小花をつけます. 

数年前から種から育て、今ではこぼれ種でたくさんの苗が育っています. 

花は２，３年ほど咲いて、枯れてしまいます. 

去年の春はメインガーデンでこの花は素晴らしく咲きましたが、今年はブルーベルガーデンの縁でたくさんの花穂を伸ばし、今咲き始めています. 

Next to the arbor sheet, there were many flowering spikes last year, but this year there is only one, which is a little sad. It looks like it will bloom a lot again next year.

アーバーシートの横は去年はたくさんの花穂が出ましたが、今年は一本だけで、ちょっと寂しいです。来年はまたたくさん咲きそうです. 

Two plants are growing next to the entrance at the bottom of the garden. The plant on the left has about ten flower spikes coming up. 

庭の下の入り口横には、二株が育っています。左の株には10本ほどの花穂が出てきています.
