 Plants Walk Harumi is a mini-garden guided tour that takes a walk around the park with the guidance of a green advisor at Pocket Plaza "Flowers, Water and Trees", held every month at Harumi Triton Square.

Opened on November 4 (12:30-, 14:30-) The theme this time was "Finding Autumn Treasures".

When the autumn color deepens, November 7 is "Ritsufu" on the calendar.

The winter preparations for coming soon have begun quietly and steadily.

Although it is the season of "flower withering", this month's attention is that in addition to "fruit plants" as in the last month, "flowers bearing the name of" cherry "" in autumn bloom.

☆Fruit plant

  Sanshuyu, Miyamashikimi, Himeringo, Shicentkiwagaki, Shinina Japanese dogwood, I observed last month

  In addition to Kotoneaster and Shiroyamabuki, this month we will have Hanakaidou, Soyogo, Piracantha.

  Fruits such as holly mochi and gardenia are colored.

☆Flowers bearing the name of "Sakura"

  ・Jugatsuzakura

    Cultivated varieties that are said to have been involved in Mamezakura and Edhigan.

    The calyx tube is a red pot shape, double-flowered.

    The flower color is white to pale peach, and 3 to 5 flowers bloom sparsely.

    In addition to the two-seater blooming "Sakura", "Kobukuzakura" (double-flowered)

    There are "Fuyuzakura" and "Shikizakura" (all single bloom).

  ・Lukuria (Assamnioizakura)

    Lukuria is an evergreen shrub of the family Asteraceae, distributed in the Himalayas and Yunnan region of China.

    The flowering season is from November to December.

    The fragrance is good and the pink flower color makes you imagine cherry blossoms.

    It is distributed under the name of "Assamunioizakura".

    In addition to light pink and white varieties, dark pink flower colors have also appeared in recent years.

  Nonetheless, the volume of cherry blossoms in spring is gorgeous, but each feels unique.
