The coming of autumn [Tsukiji River Park]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] September 8, 2016 12:00

Tomorrow is September 7th, twenty-four season old calendar's white dew (Hakuro) says, "The sign of autumn will deepen and dew will dwell in the field grass." The sultry days continue, and I can't feel like "the sign of autumn is deep."

This is a panpass glass from Tsukiji River Park.

It is a perennial plant belonging to the family Poaceae, and its origin is a grassland (panpas) of the South American continent such as Brazil and Argentina. After the Meiji era, I came to Japan.

Every year, at this time of the season, white silver feather-like spikes make you feel the coming of autumn instead of Japanese pampas grass. But would it be better to say that it will make you feel that autumn is coming soon because the spikes are attached earlier than Japanese pampas grass?

On the other hand, around the Tsukiji River Park, summer flowers (Thu) and Salsberg (crape myrtle) are still working hard without scattering flowers, and even after white dew passes, tug of war in summer and autumn is likely to continue for a while.
