When is the phantom flower Agave Venezuela blooming?
There is a plant in Chuo-ku, which has been secretly talked about SNS since around October last year.
"Agave Venezuela" is a kind of dragon tongue orchid with an unusual property that blooms once every few decades.
In the Tsukiji River Ginza Park, which is close to Higashi-Ginza Station, this report reports on the current situation of Agabe Venezuela, which stands fast at the momentum of hitting the blue sky.
When did Agabe Venezuela go to Tsukiji River Ginza Park?
It was in early November 2021 that I visited Tsukiji River Ginza Park after hearing rumors that the flowering of Agabe Venezuela is near.
At that time, a huge flower stalk of about four meters had already grown from all six Agave Venezuela in the park.
Looking at the figure, "Oh, 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.
Indeed, it seems to have been planted in 2018 in line with the renovation of the flowerbed in 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 appearance changed drastically, and it may have become a particularly strong presence in the park.
There is no change…Status of buds in the last month
Unfortunately, there is no major change that can be seen at a glance when comparing the photos taken in early December last year with those taken recently.

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 it has become bright yellowish green.
When Agave Venezuela blooms, only yellow stamens and stamens come out of small cylindrical buds.
When you see the existence 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 likely to bloom soon?" What about the actual situation?
Agabe Venezuela, which bloomed in Tama-ku, Kawasaki City in 2018, began to grow in early September, and bloomed in late November. It has bloomed in less than three months after the visible change began. The Agabe Venezuela in Tsukiji River Ginza Park has been confirmed to have grown in mid-October, so it will be almost three months.
After the great cold, the number of warm days will gradually increase.
Let's wait quietly and quietly for the flowering of Agabe Venezuela in Tsukiji, like spring approaching slowly.
