"PLANTS WALK" in Triton Garden

[Sam] January 9, 2015 09:00

R0031929LS.JPGR0031883RRSG.JPG  "Mini Garden Guided Tour" where you can stroll around the park with the guidance of a green advisor at Harumi Triton Square Pocket Plaza "Flowers, Water and Trees".

This month was held on January 8th.

①12:30~12:50

②14:30~15:30

deciduous tree drops leaves all at once during the winter and enters dormant.

However, if you look closely, the "winter buds" swell at the tip of the branch, and you can feel the breath of life prepared for the coming spring.

On the other hand, the green of the usually plain evergreen coniferous becomes relatively noticeable.

In addition, such as Naniwazu (same as Onishibari), there are species that fall in midsummer and produce new leaves and flower buds of the next spring from autumn. (also known as Natsu Bows)

Under the cold sky, I was taught the viewing points of the winter garden.

 

☆Enjoy a dignified color

In light of this season, I picked up white ones.

☆Enjoy the unique shape of evergreen coniferous trees

Even though it is evergreen, there are some species that are brownish in winter, and the colors of green vary.

☆Enjoy twice (for example, winter lilywood)

R00319274RS.JPGThe fruit of the lily tree is a collection of wing fruit in a pine cone shape.

The wing fruit scatters in the wind, but the central axis and the outermost wing fruit remain.

The whole Kaho looks like a flower.

The reason why it is said that "Yurinoki gives flowers twice."

During this season, you can see the tree shape well.
