今日の動画:ホオズキトマトとイチゴの寄せ植え
My wife and I started gardening in Fukuoka (Japan) in 2003. There was nothing but muddy clayey sloping land. At the beginning we made several structure such as steps and paths, and planted turf, fruit trees, roses, herbs etc. In 2010, we visited several famous English gardens, including Sissinghurst Castle Garden, Mottisfont Abbey Garden and Hidcote Manor Garden. We were shocked by the glory of those gardens. Since then, we have been trying to make small but glorious gardens by ourselves.
Zephyranthes candida is a bulbous plant that flowers from the end of August to the beginning of September. It is a beautiful flower with six pure white petals and six bright yellow stamens.
The English name 'rain lily' derives from the fact that the flower stalks grow and flower en masse after a consistent rainfall, they say.
タマスダレは八月の終わりから九月の初めにかけて咲く球根植物です. 純白の六枚の花びらと、鮮やかな黄色の6本の雄しべがとても印象的な美しい花です.
英語の「雨百合」という名前は、まとまった雨後に一斉に花茎を伸ばし開花することに由来するそうです.
Rain lily (Tamasudare) is a bulbous plant that blooms at the beginning of September every year, with beautiful pure white petals.
The rain lilies in the flowerpots are all blooming again this year. When the morning sun shines on them, their petals, which had been closed for a while during the night, open up and start to shine.
タマスダレは毎年九月の初めに咲く球根植物で、純白の花びらの美しい花です.
植木鉢の雨百合が一斉に今年も咲いてきました. ちょうど朝日が当たってくると、夜中少し閉じていた花びらが開いてきて、輝きだします.
