Colored hydrangea in early summer <Ginza Kojunsha Street>

R0019052LS.JPG R0019054RSG.JPG On June 5, two days earlier than normal and five days earlier than the previous year, the Tokyo region declared the "true flowering of hydrangea", and Iriume is approaching.

Hydrangea, which is planted along with the street tree "Toka maple" (also known as Sankaku maple) on Ginza Kojunsha Street to Ginza Mihara Street, also adds the color of early summer.

The most common "hydrangea" covers the central 'true flower (bisexual flower)' and forms a spherical inflorescence of 'ornamental flower' (singular flower/neutral flower)', but the flowering of "hydrangea" means "the first day when the 'true flower' of the standard tree blooms in two or three flowers."

Hydrangea has many varieties that have been crossed and improved, so you can enjoy a variety of diversity, including the differences in the shape of "Gakusai" that ornamental flower surrounds bisexual flower and the "Temari" that ornamental flower forms a densely populated inflorescence, the way ornamental flower blooms, such as single and Yae, and the shape and color of petals.

In the season when the rainy season sky continues and people's hearts tend to be depressed, the calm and calm flower color and the changing atmosphere, which is said to be seven changes, heal the mind.

 In June, on the green terrace of Triton Square in Harumi, the fruits of the genus Zaiflibok in the United States, which is native to North America, are further colored.

Since the inflorescence of five elongated white flowers resembles "control" ("conductor" used when conducting control by the army), it has the name of "treeting tree", and it looks like "four hands" Also known as "shidezakura". It is also called "juenberry" because the fruits ripen and can be harvested around June.

It is said that sweet and uninhabitable fruits are suitable for raw food and are also used as raw materials for jam, pie and compote.

The pretty white flowers in spring and the young leaves that sprout again show a different look, and the red to reddish purple fruits in early summer and yellow leaves in autumn, and it is said that they are popular as garden trees.
