　On April 21 (Sun), the "Nature Observation Party (Spring)" hosted by the Chuo-ku Environmental Information Center was held at Hamarikyu Garden, guided by a nature observation instructor. . In the nature of the Daimyo Garden, observe the ecosystem of flowers and creatures that bloom in spring and learn about changes in the environment.

The first thing you see in the park is evergreen such as Japanese black pine, Cinnamomum camphora and Japanese bay tree, which are often found on warm places and beaches. In Cinnamomum camphora, the leaves are replaced and orange to red leaves stand out. If you look closely, zelkova is also blooming on the branches this year.

Visit the park while receiving lectures on the matching of the flower color and shape of the insecticide flower with the shape and habits of the visiting insects, the nectar mark of the flower, the extra-flower nectar gland, the triangular relationship of the ladybird, aphids, and ants.

When you buckle down and carefully observe the "small cosmos at your feet", it is a dark purple lip-shaped small flower that is thought to be "curing the disease and covering the hell pot" with crude drugs such as hypertension and heat-cooling, and a pale blue purple small flower that resembles a cucumber when rubbed.

Tachitsubos violets, Tsubos violets (also known as Nyos violets, upper left image), and Hime violets are impressive.
