Nejibana in the median strip [Showa-dori]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] June 21, 2018 09:00

At this time, Nejibana is quietly blooming on the lawn of the park, but I found it blooming in the planting space on the median strip of Showa-dori on my way to work.

It's the red elliptical part in the photo below.

Just as satsuki azalea was not planted and there were no tall weeds, it was a great space for screwbana.

Nejibana is a perennial plant of the orchid family. From late spring to summer, a large number of small pink flowers are spirally attached to the top of the stem.

As to why it is twisted

There seems to be an interesting theory that if all the flowers are turned in one direction, the stems tilt, so the flowers began to be devised and twisted intentionally.
