Chuo-ku-June edition with birth flowers
Hello. The active activity is Hanes, who has been absent for a while.
With the recent post, I put an end to the "Chuo-ku at that time to know on an anniversary" series.
So, as a result of exploring whether to start a new series that can provide seasonal topics every month, I remembered a pocket picture book of birth flowers and flower language that I bought at a botanical garden when I was little, and arrived at a plan for birth flowers Was.
I have written articles on eco and SDGs so far, and I agree with my interests such as biodiversity and nature!
As you know, there are many rare flowers in birth flowers, and I have a feeling that the future will be an uneasy series.
However, if you look at trees and flowers in the ward, such as willows and azaleas, and plants other than street trees, and find a certain number of birth flowers in Chuo-ku, greening in Chuo-ku and SEGES (Sea Jess / Social Environment Contribution Green Space Evaluation System) can be praised.
So, for the next year, I would like to send out biodiversity in Chuo-ku and derived episodes from plants using birth flowers as clues.
[Assumptions]
・There are variations in the birth flowers and their flower language assigned to the 365th. In this series, we refer to the birth flower and flower language published in Hibiya Flowerbed's "Birth Flower / Flower Language on the 365th".
・We aim to introduce flowers that anyone can enjoy freely even if they get tired. Therefore, general household gardens, paid gardens, limited-time events, and flowers found in florists are not eligible.
・It will be an introduction to the extent found by the author, so you may actually see more birth flowers.
・The author is a beginner in plant observation. Please include this in advance.
Looking for 30 kinds of birth flowers in June
The introductory has become longer, but from here we will introduce the birth flowers found as a result of walking around dense places.
By the way, how many of the 30 birth flowers could you find?
Please enjoy it while expecting that area.♪
June 2: rhododendron (Flower language "Vigilance")
@ Harumi Island Triton Square
It is planted in other places in Chuo-ku, but it seems that it has passed its best time in mid-June.
Fortunately, I found a plant with "rhododendron" and information boards at Triton Square.
I was able to take a picture of the two rhododendron wheels that were blooming in the back.
June 3: Clover (Flower language "Promise")
@ Hatoba Park
Clover is often seen in the local area and on the outskirts of Tokyo.
However, I don't think there are surprisingly few opportunities to see them in the city center.
In this walk, I was able to find it in several places, including Hatoba Park.
June 5: Silane (flower language "hope")
@ Tsukuda Park
Unfortunately, this was also past the best time to see it.
However, senior correspondent Sam introduced a wonderful colony in May in "2020 reddish purple" silane "flower garden".
Please take a look at it.
June 10: Lavender (flower language "Question, Sedation")
@ Pipes excavated from Minato 2-chome (5th) archeological site
Speaking of lavender, isn't the image of Furano in Hokkaido strong?
Even if you actually walk around the city, you can't find the flowers you're looking for in Blue common sage.
However, when I tried to give up, I found lavender in an unexpected place!
That place was previously Minatokko-chan, "Minato-chan! 2. Minato's potted plant "Minato's potted plant" was introduced near the clay pipe excavated from the Minato 2-chome (5th) archeological site♪
If you look at the leaves, I think it's probably not Blue common sage, but I'm sorry if it's not lavender!
June 11: bigleaf hydrangea (Flower Language: "Obient")
@ Akatsuki Park
bigleaf hydrangea can be enjoyed everywhere in Chuo-ku, but this time we will deliver the blooming bigleaf hydrangea around the Siebold bust.
June 13: gardenia (Flower language "Shrinking")
@ TI Building (Minato), Akatsuki Park
Along with spring sanctuary and autumn osmanthus, gardenia is considered to be one of the three major incense trees.
It's convinced that insects tend to approach as much as you notice the scent that you can wear a mask!
The TI Building is a building where the burger shop "Aprediner (Cafe Door Pre)" which I have been interested in for a long time is located.
Don't miss gardenia when you use it for lunch.
Also at Akatsuki Park, which introduces bigleaf hydrangea, it is planted near the bust of Siebold.
June 15: Hydrangea (flower language "Hanikami")
@ In Chuo-ku
Hydrangea can be seen everywhere in Chuo-ku, as correspondents have introduced so far.
The colors and types are really diverse, and some of them are varieties with the tasteful name of "Sumida Fireworks", which was introduced by senior correspondent Sumida Fireworks in "Akashicho St. Luke's Hydrangea"!
Right now, I'm tied up as "hydrangea", but one year later, I want to be able to appreciate the varieties.
June 22: Amarilis (flower language "Pride")
@ Harumi Island Triton Square
When you hear Amalis, you remember "Amarilis" that you played with a recorder in elementary school music classes.
It does not grow easily on roadsides and parks, but I am impressed that it was seen in Chuo-ku.
June 24: Rose (flower language "love")
@ Harumi Island Triton Square
It is regrettable that the focus is not enough to convey its beauty.
This time, I shot it at Triton Square, but there are other places in Chuo-ku where you can enjoy roses.
When you come to Chuo-ku, be sure to look for it.♪
June 25: Agapanthus (flower language "The Beginning of Love")
@ Harumi Island Triton Square, Tsukuda Park
As of mid-June, part of Agapanthus is in full bloom at Triton Square.
On the other hand, at North Triton Park, the best time to see it was still near.
Agapanthus's "the beginning of love" following the flower language "love" of the previous day.
Next time, I would like to be able to love flowers, including the reasons for flower language.
In addition, Agapanthus is about to be in full bloom at Tsukuda Park, which was taken up as a place where silane can be seen.
June 30: Heliotrope (flower language "Dedicated love")
@ Can not be confirmed (If the infectious disease converges a little more, expand the range of action and look for it.)
Although it could not be confirmed in this walk, this flower began to be spread to Japan in the middle of the Meiji era and began to be cultivated, and it appeared as perfume in Soseki Natsume's novel "Sanshiro".
"Sanshiro," The relationship between Chuo-ku and Chuo-ku was briefly introduced in "Chuo-ku at that time to know on an anniversary-December".
It's a good time. Why don't you pick up "Sanshiro" on a rainy day?
Yeah
The birth flower series that was the first challenge this time.
It turned out that 10 out of 30 types, that is, at least one-third, can be seen in Chuo-ku.
At first, I thought that several other types of hydrangea and roses, at least 5 types were good, but you can enjoy a lot of flowers unexpectedly.♪
Until now, those who have said, "I didn't care much about the plants in the city!", We hope that this opportunity will be interested in biodiversity if your own birth flower is in Chuo-ku.
As I wrote at the beginning, I myself am an amateur who is an amateur.
I'm groping and studying in an article.
Maybe you're fooled by similar flowers (laughs).
I would be glad if I could continue to observe plants in Chuo-ku throughout the year and become a little more familiar with flowers by this time next year.
