 An annual mini-garden guided tour that takes a walk around the park with the guidance of a green adviser at the Pocket Plaza "Flowers, Water and Trees" in Harumi Triton Square.

The theme of this month, which will be held on October 8, is the Triton common sage Collection.

common sage generally refers to the red common sage "Salvia Splendes" (Japanese name: Hirobei) and its horticultural species (narrow sense), but in a broad sense it refers to the whole plant of the family common sage, which is said to be more than 500 species in the world.

common sage's name is said to be derived from Latin salvus (meaning health, good condition) and is said to be derived from the medicinal effect of the species of the genus.

The genus common sage has a variety of varieties of grass and flower colors, many of which are perennial plant.

Salvia Splendes native to Brazil, common sage Palina Care (Blue common sage) native to Texas, and Salvia Coxinea native to Mexico are considered "annual plants" for horticultural purposes.

I heard that the varieties of "Kokushinea" are limited, but a new variety of "Kokushinea" Salvia Coxinea "Sakuraburuko" is also planted in the park.

On the other hand, "common sage Phoenix" Phoenix Wine ", which has a slightly astringent and calm color, gives the impression of an adult atmosphere.

In addition, the common sage Microphyla (Cherry sage) has a sweet scent like ripe fruit when rubbing the leaves, the Salvia Leukansa (amethyst sage), which has a unique white petals and a red-purple velvet-shaped calyx, and the salvia salvanachica (common sage) with a variety of common sage flowers and black sepalsy.

This time, we took a 50-minute plant walk, focusing on "Flower Terrace" and spotlighting common sage and learning how to enjoy plants by "seeing, listening and touching".
