Chuo-ku-January edition with birth flowers
Hello. This is Hanes, which has been paused for active activities recently.
Deer trees have become noticeable since last month, but the flowers planted in the flower beds in Chuo-ku are colorful and entertain the eyes of waiting people.
We are planning to go out this month, so we will introduce the birth flowers of January from the photos of the flowers taken last year.
[Assumptions of this series]
・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.
Searching for 31 kinds of birth flowers in January
January 3: Streritia (flower language "one-person")
@ The back of the service apartment opened in the ward last year (photod in December 2020)
Chuo-ku is where you can meet flowers that you tend to think that they will not grow close to you!
When going to look for a birth flower, divide it into "possible" and "Nasou" in Chuo-ku, and narrow down the target roughly in advance.
However, this is one of the flowers that I met against that expectation.
Because the flowers resemble paradise birds, the Japanese name is also called "Gokurakuchoka (Gokurakuchoka)".
Flowering seems to be a little further away, so I would like to observe carefully when passing nearby.
January 8: Manryo (flower language "Prophecy")
@ Asashio Canal (taken in October 2020)
Manryo is also widely known as the New Year's Day lucky items.
It is said that it was traded at a high price in the Edo period!
Until now, birth flowers with red fruits such as pyracanta and nanten have come out continuously.
Learn how to distinguish by adding Senryo and Juryo to them, but in the following month, which one goes back to which state.
However, by repeating learning over the past few months, I have now definitely learned how to distinguish them.... It must be!
January 16: Oxalis (flower language "Dedicated love")
@ Harumi Island Triton Square (taken in October 2020), Sumida River Terrace (guidance only, taken in July 2020)
The leaves are similar to a four-leaf clover, so they are sometimes called "Good Luck Leaf" in English.
Certainly, if you say that, you have leaves like a clover.
I was able to confirm that it was planted on the Sumida River Terrace, so I would like to revisit this year and photograph the flowering state.
January 19: Stock (Yae) (flower language "Eternal Beauty")
@ Harumi Triton Square, Chuo-ku Sakuragawa Park, everywhere in the ward (taken in December 2020)
Stocks that are in full bloom this winter in all parts of the city (especially flower beds and flowerpots in parks).
The elegant and vivid colors add an accent to the city.
It seems to be a flower that tells spring, but it will begin to bloom in early winter.
January 21: Narcissus (flower language "self-love")
@ Everywhere in the city (taken in December 2020)
Flowering seems to be still ahead, but narcissus buds have gradually become noticeable throughout the city.
The English name of the narcissus is "Narcissus" and is widely known to be derived from the Narxos (the Greek word "Narcissus") in Greek mythology.
The triton of "Harumi Island Triton Square", which appears every time in the birth flower article, is the god of the sea that appears in this mythology.
If you are taking the Chuo-ku sightseeing test, please remember it together.♪
Yeah
This time, we were able to find 5 out of 31 birth flowers in January.
Although it has decreased significantly from the nine types of last month, tulips (yellow), violets, plums (white), etc., which can be enjoyed in Chuo-ku when it gets a little warmer, are scattered on the birth flower list.
We will update these as extra editions in the future!
