　I peeked a little.

　The Tsukuda Sumiyoshi Grand Festival is also at its peak on Sunday.

 　The Ultra Plant Exposition is being held at the Paula Museum in Ginza 1-chome.
Admission is free.　From the sidewalk, you can see a very rare large plant displayed in the cosmetics section on the first floor.

 When I went up to the 3rd floor by elevator and asked, "Can I take a picture from outside?", I was very kind words, "Please take a picture freely."
I received a rare plant "Plant Picture Book" and took a lot of photos.

　According to the botanical picture book received, the lower plant is scientific name Selaginella tamariscina, "Iwahiba".

　Some of the customers came in kimonos and added flowers to the plant exposition.

  Ginzo is very interested in tropical plants because he has stayed in the Caribbean and Brazil, and has been a volunteer guide for the Tropical Botanical Museum for seven years.
　
The fruit of Jaboticaba eaten in Brazil. Fruit trees that are born from the trunk and have such a way of fruit are called "trunk fruits". 

This is insectivore's "Utsubozura".

　Here, a large seed of the scientific name Lodoicea maldivica, "Futagoyashi", which can be easily introduced, was also exhibited.

I felt that there were a lot of things that God created sometimes in strange forms, rather than the provision of nature.

　
　I have written three books.　I purchased it at the cosmetics department on the first floor. It was my first time to visit the cosmetics department.


　The person who carried out this project was Mr. Kiyojun Nishihata, the fifth generation of Hanau, a wholesaler of flowers and plants that lasted for 150 years from the late Tokugawa shogunate during the Edo period.
I saw it aired on TV to buy rare plants overseas, but I didn't know that it was his work exhibition.

　
　The clerk was also very kind, and he sent off the customer who bought cosmetics to the entrance and greeted him.
I was impressed that this was Paula's hospitality.
　
　Actually, I don't like the name Plant Hunter.
In this case, we will introduce rare plants, so with respect, I would like to call them "plant evangelists".
　
A lot of rare plants are on display. By all means, please invite children and friends during summer vacation to go out.
The event will be held until August 16th.　Please refer to this URL for more details.
