The difference between summer camellia and Himeshara, the flower language of "Natsutsu camellia" is a lovely person.
In summer, the number of blooming flowers is decreasing, and the white flowers stand out.
"Summer camellia" and "Himeshara".
But I didn't know the details.
Flower size: It's big. The name "Hime" means a small shala. As shown in the photo, the size of the azalea flower is compared to the card that was in the regular insert.
It's my small finger. Himeshala is about 2/3 of my little finger.
In addition, Natsutsubaki has the flower language of "adorable person" and "fragile beauty".
The sound of the bell of Gion Seisha "Sara Soju", native to India, does not grow in Japan due to its weak cold resistance.
About 20 years ago, I went around the temple and found white flowers on a hot summer day.
An older woman than me said, "This is in a temple, isn't it Sara Sojuki?"
A friend of mine said, "Isn't it shortened Sara Soju and called "Shara"?"
Another woman said, "Isn't it a Japanese camellia because it blooms in summer?" "I told you that Sara Soju is not the same."
Apparently, the flower that appears in Heike Monogatari, "The sound of the bell of Gion Seisha, the sound of the impermanence and the color of the Sara Sojuju, is like "Natsubaki".
"Sara Soju" is a plant native to India, and its scientific name is "Shorea tougha" and is said to have weak cold resistance and do not grow in Japan.
In other words, it turned out that Sara Sojuki, Natsutsubaki and Himeshara are different plants.
