Squirrels bloom

[Sam] April 22, 2018 18:00

DSC_0253ELS''.jpg6996RS'G.jpg On March 26, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory announced that one of the Japan Meteorological Agency's biological seasonal observation information, "Flowing of Shirotsumegusa" (Kitanomaru-koen Park), was observed (Kitanomaru-koen Park). The white gusa at the inner moat plaza in the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden has also begun to bloom.

Also known as clover.

The name "Tsukusa" is said to be due to the use of hay of this plant as a buffer for boxed glass products imported from the Netherlands to Nagasaki during the Edo period. Sometimes there are 4 small leaves or more than that, and the 4 small leaves equivalent to the mutant are rare, and if you find it, good luck comes to those who find it. The flower is a white butterfly-shaped raceme, which is densely populated at the top of the flower pattern. If you look closely inside, it is also pinkish in the white. During this time, if you lie down on the lush grass that has sprouted, you will be comfortable and healed by the faint green scent.
