Purple and pink Hardenbergia have started to bloom on the fence behind the arbour seat. These flowers start to bloom in late February each year and are a reminder of early spring.
During the day when the sun is shining and the weather is warm, there are also many bees.
Unfortunately, last year the purple one had a large branch killed by a longhorn beetle larva, and this year's flowers are less abundant. We have planted an additional young seedling, so next year there will be more flowers again.
アーバーシートの後ろのフェンスにパープルとピンクのハーデンベルギアが咲き始めました。毎年2月の下旬に咲き始め、早春を感じさせる花です。
日が差して暖かい日中には蜜蜂もたくさんきています。
昨年はパープルの方の枝にテッポウムシ(カミキリムシの幼虫)が入って大きな枝が枯れ、今年の花は少なくなっているのが残念です。若い苗を追加して植えたので、来年はまたもっとたくさん花が咲いてくれると思います。
