R0036032RSG.jpg 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. This month will be held on November 5th.

As the autumn color deepens, the 8th of this weekend is early winter on the calendar.

It is the season of "flower withering", but what I was interested this time was Marbanoki. It's a little strange flower. It blooms after deciduous leaves. The shape of a flower. A back-to-back two-flower flower shaped like a red starfish. Wonder 3 stimulating and spicy scent. (upper left)

The attention is, after all, the red (yellow) leaves of the trees and the fruit of autumn.

Yellow leaves such as Yurinoki and Saifuriboku in the United States, and autumn leaves such as Salsberg, Hasenoki and Natsuta add color. (Left at the beginning: Natsutsuta, right: Hasenoki)

Belled fruit in Himeringo Hanakaidou.

It is a tuft-shaped white flower and yellow fruit. It is said that it will ripen from yellow to orange to red over the next year.

Like last year, pleasant friends from Pansy Viola also appeared from the end of October.

This year, in addition to the orthodox "round valve", a unique flower-shaped "rabbit type" reminiscent of a rabbit with a long face, and an adorable small flower-like "extreme small ring" have been newly added.

It was a plant walk that gained new awareness while feeling the beginning of winter preparations in the appearance of flowers and trees reflecting the changing seasons.
