The flowers of the Echium candicans growing here and there in our gardens started to bloom about a week ago. Numerous small blue-purple flowers in spindle-shaped spikes bloom for two or three weeks, and the spikes grow in size accordingly.
庭のあちこちで育てているエキウムカンディカンスの花は一週間ほど前から咲き始めました. 紡錘形の花穂に無数の青紫の小花が咲いて、２、３週間咲き続けて、花穂もそれに伴って大きくなります.

On a sunny day, bees can be seen all the time sucking nectar from the flowers. Apart from honeybees, bumblebees such as Xylocopa appendiculata and Bombus ignitus are frequent visitors.
お天気のよい日には、ハナバチたちがずっと花の蜜を吸って花から花へ忙しく飛び回ります. ミツバチの他に、クマバチやクロマルハナバチなどのハナバチ類が良く来ています.

| It is unusual to have two flower spikes on one branch. 一つの枝に2本の花穂がつくのは珍しいです |
