Yaesaki Yamabuki and Edo Kirishima-style Ryukyu-style azalea

[Yurikamome] April 29, 2011 08:30

         Hamarikyu Garden 1-103-3541-0200 Hamarikyu Garden 1-1 Hamarikyu Garden, Chuo-ku 

Yaesaki Yamabuki grows on the bank opposite Hamarikyu's Shinsenza Kamoba.

When a thin, supple green branch is illuminated by the sun, the flowers shine golden.

 

Nanae Yae Hana blooms, but it is one of the fruits of Yamabuki.

Yamabuki, famous for its ancient affairs with Michio Ota, is considered to be double-flowered and cannot actually be attached.

I think there are many people who remember what I studied in the past.

Hon Kirishima (Edo Kirishima series)

Single scarlet, 5 stamens ... It is a typical variety of Edo Kirishima.

It was handed down to Edo about 350 years ago.

At that time, there were no such gorgeous flowers in Edo, so Edo citizens seemed to be very surprised.

It was introduced not only in Edo but also throughout the country.

It is introduced as a famous flower in Kinshu Pillow.

In the Edo period, "azaleas" were planted on Mt. Gotei in Hamarikyu, and in the spring it glowed like a red fire.

Currently, it is planted on the shores of the "tidal pond" and on "Oteiyama" and other places.

 Purple Ryukyu (Ryukyu)

A single light purple, 10 stamens. It's sticky.

Purple large azaleas are collectively called "purple Ryukyu".

The flower color is dark and light, and the change varies.

Crossing the "Oden Bridge" of the "Tide Pond" toward the shop of "Hawk Tea House Ruins" and it blooms on the right.

It's best to see it.
