Recently, the cicadas have been singing louder in the mornings. When I go out into the garden, I can hear the cicadas singing and singing in chorus on many trees in the neighbourhood.
このところ、朝からセミの鳴き声が大きくなってきました. 庭に出るとご近所のあちこちの木々でセミが鳴いて、合唱しています.
In the garden, summer flowers are blooming everywhere. The blue-purple duranta is one of them, with many flowers on its drooping branches.
庭では夏の花があちこちで咲いています. 青紫のデュランタもその一つで、枝垂れる枝にたくさんの花が咲いています.
The other flower is a bright yellow canna, the opposite colour to duranta. It was initially grown in a bathtub pool, but grew too large and was planted in the ground. It tends to overgrow a little.
もう一つの花は、デュランタとは反対色の鮮やかな黄色のカンナです. 当初はバスタブの池で育てていましたが、大きくなりすぎて地植えしました. 少し増えすぎるきらいがあります.
