 This year, on May 31, seven days earlier than normal, the Tokyo region declared the "flowering of the true flowers of the hydrangea."

And on June 5, the rainy season begins.

Harumi Triton Square, which consists of three terraces, "Flower Terrace", "Green Terrace", and "Water Terrace", and two green spaces, "North Triton Park" and "South Triton Park", are colored with more than 100,000 plants of 600 species, "Yama Hydrangea hydrangea" and "bigleaf hydrangea" and "Tur Hydrangea hydrangea" are also called "West Hydrangea hydrangea".

There are many varieties of hydrangeas that have been crossed and improved.

①The shape of the corolla ("temari Risaki", in which the petals-shaped sepals "ornamental flower <Single flower / Neutral flower>" forms a spherical inflorescence, and ornamental flower surrounds bisexual flowerbisexual flower").

②How ornamental flower blooms ("single bloom", "double-flowered")

③The shape of the petals <selyx> (round valve, sword valve, fine valve, Kizami valve, spatula valve, etc.)

④Flower color rich in change

You can enjoy the diversity of such things.

This time, 3 types of "Kashiwaba hydrangea" (single blooming-1, double blooming-2, double "Tamasaki"-3), "Tsuru Hydrangea"-6, "Hidlandia"-7-10, "American Norioki" horticultural species "Anabell" (white-4, pink-5).

It is a unique scene that the vine hydrangea crawls on the wall with the vines.

The image at the beginning is Hydlandia "Endless Summer" on the flower terrace.

Unlike ordinary hydrangeas, the branches that grew that year blossomed, so you can enjoy them for a long time until autumn.

 On the evening of June 4, the first "Nori Enjoying Party" was held at Yamamoto-noriten Nihonbashi Main Store.

（18:45～19:45）

The theme is "The secret of beauty found with seaweed."

First of all, 1 butter + soy sauce flavor 2 butter + cheese + soy sauce flavor nori toast is served (I).

I started with a lecture on "The story of Nori".

Then, 1 corn soup, 2 cream potage, 3 tomato potage "3 kinds of soup" +

①Taste of brown rice 2 sesame flavor "2 kinds of tidbits seaweed" (II).

After the lecture on "Nori no nutrition", "Take-baked seaweed experience" and "hand-rolling experience (variety ingredients sampling)" (III).

Nori is added to umami ingredients.

Dietary fiber, essential for diet

A high-quality protein called "Sea Soybeans".

1/2 of lipids is EPA, which is active in anticholesterol measures.

In addition, a number of nutrients such as vitamin C, β-carotene, folic acid, iodine, and minerals are concentrated.

Among them, the moisturizing properties of water-soluble dietary fiber called "porphyran" and the deterrent of skin aging seem to be attracting attention.

The “fried laver experience” is based on the quality standards of laver, “fragrance (strong and weak)”, “color / gloss (color tone / baked color)” “shape (thin thickness / presence / absence of holes)” “texture (texture / crisp / mouthfeel)”, “taste (taste / sweetness / salty)”, etc. It was an opportunity to experience again.

And the proposal of "nori recipes" that are more abundant than expected.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　♂Summer feather　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Summer feather

 Nowadays, it is commonly seen throughout the year in urban parks, and it is a "city bird" hakusekirei, but it is a feathered feather color and tells the season to go around.

♂Summer feathers are black from the top of the head, black on the back, white on the face, black overeye. The chest is black and the belly is white.

(Winter feathers of mm are gray in back)

♀Summer feathers are black at the top of the head, dark gray at the back, and black feathers are mixed.

(The winter feathers in 2000 are gray from the top of the head)

Hakusekirei is widely distributed in the Eurasian Continent.

In Japan, it was used to breed on the coast of northern Japan in spring and summer, and winter winter in the downstream area of the river south of central Honshu. The number of individuals expanding their habitat has increased, and breeding grounds have expanded nationwide, and today it is counted as a "resident bird" in Japan.

It is believed that non-breeding season will feed during the day, and roosts at night will be made of urban buildings, such as bridge girders, street trees, and buildings.

I often see the tail feathers moving up and down while squealing "Chuchun" and "Chuiley", stopping a little bit, and walking again.

At the time of flight, wavy flight.

In addition to the smart body shape of black (dark gray) and white two-tone color and long tail, it seems to be a wild bird that attracts considerable attention, probably due to its comical features.
