Yaesaki Yamabuki and Edo Kirishima-style Ryukyu-style azalea

[Yurikamome] April 29, 2011 08:30

         Hamarikyu Garden 1-103-3541-0200 Hamarikyu Garden 1-1 Hamarikyu Garden, Chuo-ku 

Yaesaki Yamabuki grows on the bank opposite Hamarikyu's Shinsenza Kamoba.

When a thin, supple green branch is illuminated by the sun, the flowers shine golden.

 

Nanae Yae Hana blooms, but it is one of the fruits of Yamabuki.

Yamabuki, famous for its ancient affairs with Michio Ota, is considered to be double-flowered and cannot actually be attached.

I think there are many people who remember what I studied in the past.

Hon Kirishima (Edo Kirishima series)

Single scarlet, 5 stamens ... It is a typical variety of Edo Kirishima.

It was handed down to Edo about 350 years ago.

At that time, there were no such gorgeous flowers in Edo, so Edo citizens seemed to be very surprised.

It was introduced not only in Edo but also throughout the country.

It is introduced as a famous flower in Kinshu Pillow.

In the Edo period, "azaleas" were planted on Mt. Gotei in Hamarikyu, and in the spring it glowed like a red fire.

Currently, it is planted on the shores of the "tidal pond" and on "Oteiyama" and other places.

 Purple Ryukyu (Ryukyu)

A single light purple, 10 stamens. It's sticky.

Purple large azaleas are collectively called "purple Ryukyu".

The flower color is dark and light, and the change varies.

Crossing the "Oden Bridge" of the "Tide Pond" toward the shop of "Hawk Tea House Ruins" and it blooms on the right.

It's best to see it.

Wisteria, peony, and iris are in bloom.

The Botanen of Hamarikyu is now the best.

After all, it blooms bigger than "Winter Peony" and there are many types.

If you stand up, shakuyaku ... if you sit, button ...

There are a lot of people who have cameras.

On the other side of Botanen, iris sanguinea began to bloom.

The number of flowers increases day by day.

Take a large deep breath and walk around the flowers slowly.

When it was "Hamagoten" in the Edo period, the entire "Oden Bridge" was covered with wisteria trellis, and the north side of "Nakajima no Chaya" was purple wisteria flowers ... the south side was covered with white wisteria flowers. It seems that it was done.

The wisteria trellis is a variety called "Noda Fuji", which is characterized by a long bunch.

The long one is over 2m.

Noda of "Noda Fuji" is the birthplace of this variety and comes from "Noda" in Noda, Fukushima-ku, Osaka.

Hamarikyu Garden Village Cherry Blossoms

[Yurikamome] April 27, 2011 08:30

 The Hamarikyu Garden, which has been blooming beautiful flowers since the end of March, is also turning to soft green.

In such a situation, the last village cherry tree of this season is competing and blooming.

 Sekiyama (Kanzan) blooms late in the village cherry blossoms, but the flowers become lumps and continue to bloom until early May.

 Ukon (turmeric) has a clear yellow color at the beginning of blooming, but whitish at the end of blooming.    It looks like it's thin and pinkish.

 Gyoiko (Gyoiko) is a little darker at the beginning of blooming, but it turns a little yellowish by the end of blooming.

   2011_0424 Beach 23 Gyoiko 0036.JPGFugenzo is said to have been named in this way because the two stamens in the center of the flower are light green and the shape resembles the elephant's fangs on which the Fugen Bodhisattva is riding.

   Surugadai smell has a very good scent when approaching the flower.

 In spring, it is pleasant to walk a little early.

I walked in search of a shutter with ukiyo-e as usual.

Hamarikyu, where the village cherry blossoms are at their best (until May 5, free of charge for Chuo Ward residents)

[Yurikamome] April 14, 2011 10:00

This year we are blessed with good weather and cherry blossoms are beginning to bloom.

Pink-white white Myo, Suruga Dainioi, Sendai Ya

You can enjoy 5 colors of cherry blossoms, such as green gyoiko yellow turmeric ...

If you walk along the row of cherry blossom trees on a large site, you will forget that you are in the city.

Guests invited to the Hama Goten during the Edo period look at the cherry blossoms, falconry, write waka at Nakajima's Chaya and Matsuno Chaya, look at expensive hanging scrolls and pots, and fish. You can imagine how you enjoyed it.

There are various types of village cherry blossoms, and the name is unknown ... It is quite interesting because it is different from the name I learned before.

          fringed iris

         It blooms in Shinsenza Kamoba and other inconspicuous quiet places.  

2011_0412 Hamarikyu fringed iris Photo 0134.JPG                When I tried to take a picture, I felt like I was wrapped in flowers.

     Yoshino cherry tree, which bloomed a little late, is now in full bloom.

     Because the trees are large, many people looked at them a little distance.

        2011_0412 Hamarikyu Yoshino cherry tree 0034.JPG       On the other side of the maple young leaves is the "Matsu no Chaya", but the "Matsu no Chaya" and the greenery of trees are beautiful on the surface of the water.

     It was reflected.

2011_0412 Hamarikyu Pine Tea and Autumn Leaves Photo 0115.JPG It seems that the weather will be in spring today. Now, a TV announcer is talking.

 From now on, the cherry blossoms will bloom more and more beautifully.

 Yesterday, when crossing the "Oden Bridge", Ai (the name of the fish) was swimming in the "tide pond".

 Please come and think of the time of the Edo period when it was Hama Goten.

Yoshino cherry tree of Hamarikyu is beginning to fall.

But from now until the beginning of May, the cherry blossoms bloom one after another, and the cherry blossoms welcome us at any time.

Others Odorikosou Kanto Dandelion Murasakikeman Fuji button, etc., buried with flowers.

Enjoy the flowers blooming under the more beautiful blue sky as seen in the picture.

After the Meiji Restoration, the shogun's garden became a member of the Imperial Family.

From the middle of the Meiji era to the early Taisho era, a cherry blossom viewing party was held every year at Hamarikyu.

Currently, it is a "Cherry Cherry Blossom Viewing Party" at Shinjuku Gyoen.

   It blooms on the right after crossing the "Oden Bridge" from "Nakajima no Chaya" to "Fujimiyama".

   It blooms a large double flower. 

    I took this photo about 5 days ago, so I imagine, "Is it blooming for 7 minutes today?"

   "Nakanoshima" on the other side of the flower ... Reproduced "Matsu no Chaya"

   Why don't you stand in this wonderful view? ? ? ・・・

     Yamabuki

    It is quiet in a place where you can enjoy the feeling of the mountains a little different from cherry blossoms and Hana peaches.

     Button bud

    It is also a seasonal word for spring in the world of Haiku.

    Looking at these buds, you can feel the strength of nature and say, "What kind of flowers will bloom? ? ・・・・」

    I'm excited about my expectations.
