The tsurubo or Barnardia japonica is a bulbous plant native to East Asia, including Japan, and produces pretty pink flowers around the beginning of September. This year, too, it started to grow spikes of flowers about two weeks ago and has only started to bloom in the last few days.
This summer was the second hottest summer so far, and the weather has been unusual, with almost no rainfall in our area during the rainy season. Japanese summers are becoming too hot for gardening. Drinking ale in the evening in the air-conditioned garden room is a weekend treat.
ツルボは日本を含めて東アジアの原産の球根植物で、9月の初めごろにピンク色の可愛らしい花を咲かせます. 今年も2週間ほど前から花穂を伸ばし始めて、ここ数日で咲き始めました.
今年の夏は今までで2番目に暑い夏だったそうで、梅雨の時期に当地ではほとんど雨が降らないなど、異常な気象が続きました. 日本の夏はガーデニングには不向きなほど気温が高くなってきています. 冷房の効いたガーデンルームで夕方にエールを飲むのが週末の楽しみになっています.
