April 20 was "grain rain" in twenty-four season old calendar.
This is the season when rice fields and fields are ready and spring rain encourages grain sprout.
At Harumi Triton Square's Flower Terrace, a new horticultural variety from dogwood, White Love, is at its best.
dogwood (also known as yamaboshi) is a deciduous Takagi of the genus mizuki native to North America.
Prior to the development of the leaves, the canopy is covered with flowers with four petal-shaped bracts, giving a more elegant impression than Japanese dogwood, which is close to domestic native species.
By the way, the real flowers of dogwood are yellow-green grains in the center of the four bracts.
dogwood's total bracts are distinguished from Japanese dogwood.
"White Love" is a neat tree shape with an uprightness compared to native species, and the flowers are large and good with flowers.
If you turn your eyes, the dogwood "Cherokey", which is also planted on the "Flower Terrace", is also blooming.
This is a red flower variety.
Compared to neat white flower varieties, it has a warm and gentle impression and an elegant flower shape.
By the time the total bracts are scattered, they are attached to young rice grains.
The fruits grow little by little in the shade of leaves during the summer, and when cool, they turn red as if they could not wait.
The autumn leaves are also wonderful.
dogwood enjoys flowers, autumn leaves, and fruits in each of the four seasons, and is popular as a flower tree with three beats of flowers, leaves, and fruit.
