In the bluebell garden, the whitebells (Allium triquetrum) are in full bloom at the beginning of April, followed by the bluebells in full bloom in mid-April.
The chameleon plant blooms towards the end of May, when leaves of whitebell and bluebell gradually wither away.
ブルーベルの庭では、四月の初めにホワイトベル（ミツカドネギ）が満開になり、それに続いて4月中旬にブルーベルが満開になります。
そしてそれらの葉が次第に枯れていく5月の末ごろにドクダミが開花します。

In summer, both whitebells and bluebells go dormant in their bulbs, and the chameleon plant thrives. And many other weeds also become overgrown.
During the summer and autumn, weeding is carried out, including the chameleon plant, which is a very vigorous plant that spreads by underground stems, so it must be frequently cut above ground to slow it down.
Weeding in mid-summer is hard work due to the intense heat, but it is an important job for next spring's flowers.
夏はホワイトベルもブルーベルも球根で休眠となり、ドクダミが繁茂します。そして他の雑草もたくさん茂ります。
夏から秋にかけて、ドクダミも含めて草取りをします。ドクダミは地下茎で広がる非常に成長旺盛な植物なので、頻繁に地上部を刈り取ってその勢いをそぐ必要があります。
真夏の草取りは猛暑のために大変な仕事ですが、来春の花のための大事な仕事です。
