On January 24, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory reported one of the Japan Meteorological Agency's biological seasonal observation information, "Tsubaki Flowering".
It is 16 days earlier than normal and 29 days later than last year.
Camellia is evergreen Takagi of the camellia family camellia.
It is also called "Japanese camellia", distinguishing from other types of camellia.
There are three wild species native to Japan: Japanese camellia, Yukitsubaki, and apple camellia.
It is said that camellia was widely spread among the general public in the middle of the Edo period after the Muromachi and Azuchi-Momoyama periods, when the tea ceremony and flower arrangement were developed, and many horticultural varieties have been produced.
In the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, near the entrance to the Ote-mon gate, "Katsubaki" (which is considered to be a horticultural species of camellia sasanqua, but there is a strange theory) is planted near Bairin, and the Japanese camellia is seen around Koshindo Kamoba area.
The petals are funnel-shaped without flat opening, divided many branches, and are thick tree-shaped.
By the way, "Kan camellia" and "Winter camellia" are winter seasonal words, while "Hana camellia" is spring seasonal words.
