　On September 27, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory released one of the biological seasonal observation information "Japanese pampas grass Flowering".

18 days later than normal and 4 days later than last year.

The ears of Japanese pampas grass are a collection of flowers. The first day when the number of ears extracted from the leaf sheath is estimated to have reached about 20% of the total expected ears, is called "Japanese pampas grass's flowering."

Along the Sumida River Terrace on the side of Toyomi Bridge, Japanese pampas grass is fighting against the wind against the backdrop of Eitai Bridge.

Japanese pampas grass is included in the observation item because it is suitable for examining the progress of the seasons, and it is said that there is a correlation between the flowering of Japanese pampas grass and the temperature, and that the flowering tends to slow down when the temperature rises.

Although there are regional differences, the flowering of Japanese pampas grass tends to slow in recent years, and the relationship with global warming seems to be attracting attention.

By the time the flowers open, the ears glow softly white and silver, and when the season deepens, they shine golden.

The best season for watching Japanese pampas grass is when it shines from silver to golden.

In particular, it is wonderful to sway in the sunset and sparkle golden.

In addition, there is the same golden ogi as a plant similar to Japanese pampas grass, but Japanese pampas grass has a long spine-shaped "tagram" protrudes from the tip of the spike, while the ogi has no awn.

　On the south side of Tsukiji River Park, there are three osmanthus trees, buds are swelling and emit fragrance.　

I'm just attracted to my nose.

Is it until October 1st that you can enjoy this fresh scent?

Please enjoy it with the observation of fruit growth that we showed you the other day.

Please drop in to Akashicho, St. Luke's College of Nursing and Tsukiji Market.

The picture is in the morning of September 27.　Have a nice day !

　On September 25, the autumn equinoctial week dawned, and as shown in the analogy of "One Rain", the effects of recent long rains overlapped, and you can feel cool day by day. .

The flower that symbolizes this period is "red spider lily".

Many of them have triple chromosomes, flowers bloom but do not actually tie, bulbs are divided into nutrients, and during the autumn equinoctial week, flower stalks without leaves are stretched and bright red flowers bloom at the tip.

It is native to southern China and is said to be a historical naturalized plant that came from China in the old age.

There are various names depending on the region, such as "Cluster Amaryllis", "Daddy flowers", and "Ghost flowers", indicating that the flowers have been deeply involved in human life since ancient times.

In Ishikawajima Park, in addition to the red "red spider lily", white "Shirobananamanjushage" (which is said to be a hybrid of red spider lily and yellow narcissus) is blooming against the Aioi Bridge.

In addition, after flowering, it grows linear thin leaves in late autumn.

It's a long rain in autumn. I went to Tsukishima in the middle of the clouds.

Tsukuda Island and Tsukishima are located in the city center and are not miraculously affected by war.
That's why I'm leaving the houses in the early Showa era.
It is an old town surrounded by skyscrapers forested on the adjacent land.
　

　The name of Tsukishima is "Tsuki no Cape" located in Tokyo Bay.

　It is said that it was named after a famous moon viewing spot.

　I couldn't see the moon this time because the conditions were not met.

　There will be a view of the moon viewing that has not changed.


　
"In a world where everything is changing

　　　　　　　　　　　　I wonder if it's the moon to sit in the same shade."

Instead, like Tsukishima, look like the moon? I looked for it.

At Ginza Station, we purchased tickets for Spanish people returning to the Royal Park Hotel near Ningyocho Station and Suitengu Station, and helped them get on.

Even in a short time, his wife asked, "Where did you learn Spanish?" Or "Did you ever go to Spain?"

When he replied that he had been to Madrid or Toledo on his honeymoon,

With a smile, peace sign and a smile, I became more and more fond of Spain.　I wished you to enjoy sightseeing in Tokyo.　Buen viaje !
