Plum blossoming

[Sam] January 19, 2017 16:00

DSC_0687LS.jpg On January 10, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory reported one of the Japan Meteorological Agency's biological seasonal observation information, "Plum Flowering".

16 days earlier than normal, the same day as last year.

The news of the flowering of Bairin in the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden has not yet been heard, but weeping plums from major Kadoguchi and early blooming "Yae Koume", "Koshu Minimum", and "Yae Noume", which are beside the flower garden, have begun to bloom.

When the garden was a separate residence of the Tokugawa Shogunate, which was called the Hamagoten, many plum trees were planted and are said to have been full of a fragrant scent.

Currently, there are about 80 plums in the park in Umebayashi, about 10 varieties in total, about 130 plums.

The canola flower field, which was sown on October 25 last year, is covered with a net and is still curing, but the park is steadily showing signs of spring coming.
