From here, we will introduce the birth flowers found as a result of a walk avoiding crowds.
How many of the 31 kinds of birth flowers could you find?
Please enjoy it while expecting that area.♪

July 1: Begonia (red) (flower language "important memories")
@ Tsukuda Park
Tsukuda Park was the only red begonia during this walk.
Pink and white begonia were also planted in the park, creating a beautiful gradation.
In addition, pink begonia is also planted in street planters near COREDO Muromachi Terrace without knowing it, and it seems to be found in unexpected places.
When it comes to birth flowers, there is a color specification even for the same flowers, so I looked sweet at that point!

July 3: Rose (pink) (flower language "Impression")
@ Tsukuda Park and others
Pink roses can be enjoyed in several places in the city, but this time from Tsukuda Park, which was abundant.
On the left side of the photo below, the variety "Yoshizumi" was also used for perfume of Shiseido.
The upper right is "Princess de Monaco" dedicated to the late Queen of the Prince of Monaco, and the lower right is "California Dreaming", which is said to have been announced to fans of "Princess de Monaco".
Surrounded by roses that I did not usually see on the street, I was able to spend an elegant time.

July 5: Anthrium (flower language "passion")
@ Harumi Island Triton Square, etc.
There is no information board and anxiety remains, but perhaps anthrium!
There was also a potted plant in a dental clinic in the city.
Because it is native to tropical America, it feels like the rainy season is over and summer is coming.
I learned that this red part, where the flower language of "passion" is exactly the perfect, is a kind of leaf peculiar to the taro family called Buddha bract.

July 13: Squirrel (flower language "Sweet Memories")
@ Harumi Island Triton Square
At Triton Square, periwinkle is at its best.
It is strong in the summer heat and blooms new flowers every day, so it seems to be enjoyable for a while.

July 16: Asiatic dayflower (Flower language "Respect")
@ Horidome Children's Park (adjacent plant area)
Asiatic dayflower, which I saw in the local area, was hard to find in Chuo-ku.
Murasakitsuyukusa is planted in Harumi Island Triton Square, but ordinary Asiatic dayflower is hard to find.
When I went around the park with awareness of places where wildflowers are likely to grow, I found miraculously at Horidome Children's Park!
I was most happy to find it among the birth flowers of this month, so I made it the top image ^^

July 21: Morning glory (flower language "light love")
@ Near the entrance to Kyobashi, high-speed Toshin Beltway, etc.
When you were in elementary school, you may have kept a diary of morning glory during summer vacation.
Although morning glory is familiar to us, Bungo Toson Shimazaki, who is related to Chuo-ku, wrote about morning glory in Akikusa.

"In the hot urban air of more than thirty degrees every day, there was no night or nothing. I learned nothing about the hiding of the old man, and somehow managed to overcome this bitterness, I set up 145 bamboos in a narrow alley in front of the house, tied three hedges, and planted morning glory there."

So, I would like to go back to the times here.
Genroku 5 (1657)-Genroku era 12 (1699) Of the four axes of the manuscripts of the National Diet Library, Akishita / linked top number 11 to 13) shows the oldest red mornings depicted in Genroku 5 (1692).
(Shigeken Kano: History and Year of Birth: Unknown / Reference Paper (PDF)))

After that, the morning glory boom arrived twice, from the end of culture to the first year of Bunsei, and from the end of Koka era to the first year of Bunkyu!
Sessai Hattori's paintings by the National Diet Library (published by Kaei era 7 (1854)) show a number of "change morning glory" of the second boom.
Morning glory of various colors and shapes has been entertaining Japanese eyes as a summer tradition for more than 300 years.

July 22: Japanese camellia (flower language "Elegance")
@ Sumida River Tsukishima Green Road
Previously, asunaro, a senior correspondent, reported the beginning of blooming in "The pretty figure of Natsuki once-in-a-lifetime encounter" (May 29, 2018).
However, as of July 5 this year, all of them are still buds.
The flowering time this year may be slower than usual, but by July 22, it will bloom ephemeral white flowers.

July 27: Hozuki (flower language "Smile")
@ Horidome Children's Park (adjacent plant area)
This is also one of the flowers that struggled to find.
"Nihonbashi" At the beginning of Kyoka Izumi's "Onnakeizu", the author of the famous author, Hozuki (assurus) appears.
In this way, it is also tasteful to appreciate the seasonal flowers along with the works of famous novelists, and it seems that there are new discoveries.♪



(If you press ▼ a little, the plasma will appear at the end of the first line.)


July 28: Gloriosa (flower language "glory")
@ Horidome Children's Park (adjacent plant area)
This flower resembles a lily and is quite unique.
I was giving up saying, "There are lilies in Chuo-ku, but there is no groriosa."
There is no doubt that the potted plant is well-maintained by the locals, and there was a tag with "Gloriosa" on the soil.♪

July 31: Japanese willow (Flower language "Nobleness")
@ Sumida River Terrace and others
The last of this month is a mustache.
The Sumida River Terrace has been in full bloom since mid-June!

And although I could not find it this time, "July 11: Impatens (flower language" Vivid People ")" is a record planted in the "Chuo-dori Rihana Kaido Kawara Version" in May 2018. It is one of the flowers that I would like to see again.

This time, we were able to find 10 out of 31 birth flowers in July.
I can't hide my surprise that at least one-third can be seen in Chuo-ku!
Previously, senior correspondent Tom Shimomachi said, "Flower Town" Chuo-ku "", and Kozaru "Walks healed by flowers in" Chuo-ku "the city of flowers." " As introduced in the above, Chuo-ku has enacted the “Chuo-ku Declaration of Flower City”.
I was able to know with myself how the ward is aiming to create a city rich in flowers and greenery.

This time, the difficulty was even higher than last month, and I couldn't find everything on the first day, so I collected information and finally reached on the second day.
There were a wide range of things from those found throughout the city to limited ones that can only be seen in specific places, but you can enjoy more flowers than expected.♪
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.

Finally, we will deliver a frame from Hakozaki Park.

I came with information that there was a certain flower, but unfortunately I couldn't find the one I wanted.
Instead, I met a statue of Shoin Yoshida, who practices a "new lifestyle."
At first glance, it's a normal white mask, but if you look closely, it's a Kaai Itare Panda mask.
It was raining on the way, but it was a holiday with interesting discoveries.
