In early June, a large grass of more than 2m bloomed yellow flowers next to the public toilet at Tsukiji River Park, between Nikkan Sports and St. Luke's International University.
If you look closer, it is a plant that you have never seen before.
I had a lot of cute yellow flowers of about 1 cm. Is the best time to see it until July 15?
If you love flowers, I think it's worth visiting.
Since it resembled a tobacco leaf, even if you think it is a plant of the family Stapaceae and look up on the Internet, there is no applicable thing.
When I asked my FB friend for help, I received information from someone who is a volunteer guide for Yumenoshima Tropical Botanical Garden.
Mr. Ginzo,
I think it's "Velvedo Mozuika" of the Sesameaceae family.
Where did the seeds fly from? I'm surprised if you suddenly appear in the middle of the city.

Scientific name: Verbascum thapsus
Flower season: Summer
The leaves and stems are covered with grayish-white hair, so the appearance and touch look like a velvet.
In addition, the stamens have dense hair, so it is named "fur stamen flower". It stretches to the height of a person.
In addition, it is written in kanji like this.
