When is the flowering of the phantom flower Agave Venezuela?
There is a plant in Chuo-ku, which has been secretly talked about mainly on SNS since around October last year.
Agabe Venezuela is a type of Ryuzu orchid with an unusual property that blooms once every few decades.
In Tsukiji River Ginza Park, which is close to Higashi-Ginza Station, we report the current situation of Agabe Venezuela, which is standing very fast with the momentum of hitting the blue sky.
When did Agave Venezuela become Tsukiji River Ginza Park?
It was early November 2021 that I visited Tsukiji River Ginza Park after hearing rumors that Agabe Venezuela was about to bloom.
By that time, all six Agave Venezuela plants in the park had already grown a huge flower stalk of about 4 metres (or rather) long.
He said, “Was there such a prominent plant in this park? ? ", I was a little confused and looked around, and there was such a poster at my feet.
I see, it seems that it was planted in 2018 in accordance with the renovation of the flower bed part of the park.
For several years since it was planted, I did not recognize the existence of this plant, but as the flower stalks grew at a stretch toward flowering, the figure changed drastically, and it has a strong presence in the park. Maybe it has come to be.
As if there is no change…Status of buds in the last month
Unfortunately, comparing the photos taken in early December last year with those taken recently, there is no major change that can be seen at a glance.

However, if you look closely, as of December, the buds at the tip of the branch were dark green like broccoli, but as of January, they have become bright yellowish green.
When Agave Venezuela blooms, only yellow stamens and stamens come out of small cylindrical buds.
When you look at the presence of yellow stamens and stamens from outside the buds, you can see that the shape of the buds is plump, the amateur thinks, "Is it about to bloom soon?" What is the reality?
Agave Venezuela, which bloomed in Tama Ward, Kawasaki City in 2018, began to grow in early September, and bloomed in late November. It will bloom in less than three months after the visible change began. The Agabe Venezuela of Tsukiji River Ginza Park has been confirmed to have grown in mid-October, so it will be almost three months.
After the cold, warm days will gradually increase.
Let's wait quietly and quietly for the flowering of Agabe Venezuela in Tsukiji, like spring approaching slowly.
