common sage Collection <Harumi Triton>

[Sam] October 10, 2015 16:00

 An annual mini-garden guided tour that takes a walk around the park with the guidance of a green adviser at the Pocket Plaza "Flowers, Water and Trees" in Harumi Triton Square.

The theme of this month, which will be held on October 8, is the Triton common sage Collection.

common sage generally refers to the red common sage "Salvia Splendes" (Japanese name: Hirobei) and its horticultural species (narrow sense), but in a broad sense it refers to the whole plant of the family common sage, which is said to be more than 500 species in the world.

common sage's name is said to be derived from Latin salvus (meaning health, good condition) and is said to be derived from the medicinal effect of the species of the genus.

The genus common sage has a variety of varieties of grass and flower colors, many of which are perennial plant.

Salvia Splendes native to Brazil, common sage Palina Care (Blue common sage) native to Texas, and Salvia Coxinea native to Mexico are considered "annual plants" for horticultural purposes.

I heard that the varieties of "Kokushinea" are limited, but a new variety of "Kokushinea" Salvia Coxinea "Sakuraburuko" is also planted in the park.

A pretty flower figure with a beautiful salmonish pink flower color reminiscent of cherry blossoms.

On the other hand, "common sage Phoenix" Phoenix Wine ", which has a slightly astringent and calm color, gives the impression of an adult atmosphere.

In addition, the common sage Microphyla (Cherry sage) has a sweet scent like ripe fruit when rubbing the leaves, the Salvia Leukansa (amethyst sage), which has a unique white petals and a red-purple velvet-shaped calyx, and the salvia salvanachica (common sage) with a variety of common sage flowers and black sepalsy.

This time, we took a 50-minute plant walk, focusing on "Flower Terrace" and spotlighting common sage and learning how to enjoy plants by "seeing, listening and touching".

Tsukishima good luck Goddess of Mercy offertory box

[kimitaku] October 3, 2015 14:00

 "There are many customers who visit Tsukishima for sightseeing.

But many customers eat "Monja", so I'm not satisfied with Tsukishima. "

 What, Kannon of Tsukishima was saying ...?

 Before I put the monja into my stomach.

When you go along the alley to the bathhouse, you will see the lucky Kannon quietly.

  Throw the offer and ask quietly, gently squat down and look at the picture in the box. There are a lot of pictures of the fire extinguisher.

Just like each one, isn't the youngshu welcomes you with a stick behind it? Please take a look.

The antenna shop stamp rally has begun. Until October fifteenth.

[Silver] 12:00 on October 2, 2015

 The 10th antenna shop stamp rally in Chuo-ku has started.

Until October 15, 26 shops are waiting for you with specialty products.

I started shopping and stamp rally, starting with "I brought Hakodate" at the corner of Kyobashi 2-chome.

It's open 24 hours a day, so you can always buy Hakodate's specialty products.

 The second store is "Iwate Ginga Plaza".

I bought famous confectionery's "Kamome no Egg", "Southern Senbei", and "Maitake Mushroom Gome Rice Field" in Iwate Prefecture.

The most popular product here is "Iwachiku Kiro Drop Shoulder Bacon". It's cheap.

But it was sold out because it was too cheap.

And the label "Products eligible for 3 discounts by grant" stands out.

And there was a very delicious lunch made with Sanriku seafood. I'll keep this for the next time.

At the third store, Gunma-chan's house, we have a fresh "fig" from Gunma Prefecture.

I bought "Gunma-chan Journey Garasu", a candy with cream inside, which is very similar to goful. There is also a discount of 150 yen for 2 pieces.

 Here, the sticker of "Products eligible for 3 discounts by grant" is also noticeable. It's the aim of shopping.

Well, I'm really grateful to be able to buy specialty products from all over the country while staying in Tokyo.

Next time, let's enjoy shopping around Nihonbashi with other Ginza shops this weekend.

Everyone, please enjoy the antenna shop stamp rally.
