 On September 25, the autumn equinoctial week dawned, and as shown in the analogy of "One Rain", the effects of recent long rains overlapped, and you can feel cool day by day. .

The flower that symbolizes this period is "red spider lily".

Many of them have triple chromosomes, flowers bloom but do not actually tie, bulbs are divided into nutrients, and during the autumn equinoctial week, flower stalks without leaves are stretched and bright red flowers bloom at the tip.

It is native to southern China and is said to be a historical naturalized plant that came from China in the old age.

There are various names depending on the region, such as "Cluster Amaryllis", "Daddy flowers", and "Ghost flowers", indicating that the flowers have been deeply involved in human life since ancient times.

In Ishikawajima Park, in addition to the red "red spider lily", white "Shirobananamanjushage" (which is said to be a hybrid of red spider lily and yellow narcissus) is blooming against the Aioi Bridge.

In addition, after flowering, it grows linear thin leaves in late autumn.
