DSC_0302RS'G.jpg  On April 19, the Tokyo District Meteorological Observatory announced "Noda Fuji Flowering" one of the biological seasonal observation information. (Kitanomaru-koen Park)

Two days earlier than normal and one day earlier than last year.

The wisteria trellis set up on each of the "Yon Liaokan Ruins" in Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, "Oden Bridge" in front of the "Tide Pond", and "Small Character Island" in the middle of the "Oden Bridge" are gradually light purple flowers. Has begun to be colored.

Fuji is a vine deciduous leaf Kimoto of the family Mameaceae.

There is a fragrance, the flower appearance where the flower ears hang down is gorgeous, and the appearance of shaking in the wind has a taste as described as "Fujinami".

There are Noda Fuji and Yamafuji in endemic species, Japan. Generally, Fuji seems to refer to Noda Fuji, but I hear that most of the park is Yamafuji.

On the wisteria trellis at the northern end of the "Oden Bridge", a rare Noda Fuji type "Yae Kuroryu Fuji" is planted.

It is also known as 'peony wisteria.'

Most of the stamens are valveed, and it is a unique flower shape of the so-called "peony bloom".

It will be fun until the end of Golden Week.
