花の文化園に行って来ました。

行く時期によってだいたい何が咲いているか分かる場所ってありがたい限りです。こういうのを撮りたいってイメージできますからね。

今の季節は水仙や梅にはちょっと早いかなって思ってたんですけど、蝋梅にはちょうどいい季節に入ってきました。

それに水仙も咲き初めていて、こんな寒い季節でもいろんな花が見れるのが植物園の楽しみのひとつです。

いつもは長居植物園に行くことが多いんですけど、さすがに行き過ぎてて飽きてきました。そんなに花が咲いてる季節ではないですしね。

時間を見つけて服部緑地の都市緑化植物園にも行きたいんですけどね。ここは椿が有名な植物園でこれからが楽しみな場所なんです。

そうそう、蝋梅の話なんですけど、蝋梅って梅って書きますけど梅の仲間ではないらしいですよ。

Plant of the Day

Thursday 3 August 2023

The clusters of small pink flowers of Origanum vulgare (oregano, English marjoram, wintersweet) are popular with pollinators. This woody-based perennial herb has small, aromatic leaves and makes a great edge to a border or addition to a meadow.

Winter plum blossoms bloom in the snow

I think that many poems praising the qualities of plum blossoms are best reflected in wintersweet.

Plum blossoms bloom in the snow and ice, which is the most perfect impression people have of plum blossoms. Wintersweet is the only one that can really do this.

Wintersweet blooms in the cold winter, and its petals are waxy and feel very textured. You can see the picture of snow pressing on wintersweet.

Historically, wintersweet and plum blossoms were considered to be the same plant. But in fact, wintersweet is not really plum blossom. Plum blossoms belong to the genus Prunus in the Rosaceae family, and wintersweet belongs to the genus Chimonanthus in the family Chimonaceae.

But I think that wintersweet should be the one that blooms in the cold winter and snows heavily. The wintersweet I saw in the park is basically yellow, and I have never seen red wintersweet.

Red plum blossoms are very beautiful. When red plum blossoms bloom, there are only flowers without leaves. The red plum blossoms are very gorgeous and really beautiful.

Although red plum blossoms bloom earlier than other flowers, the blooming time is also in March and April, and it is difficult to see the scene of winter snow.

If you want to see plum blossoms in the cold winter, I think it is best to see wintersweet recently. If it snows, the snow will press on the wintersweet flowers, which is really poetic and picturesque, and completely in line with people's perception of plum blossoms.

People like to see plum blossoms blooming in the snow, with snowflakes flying all over the sky, and plum blossoms blooming in the snow, which is really poetic and picturesque.

Wintersweet can fully satisfy people's desire to appreciate plum blossoms in the snow.

The only bad thing about wintersweet is that there are many leaves when it blooms, and the leaves are a little big, so the wintersweet is covered, which has a little impact on appreciation.

Although there are flaws, I still feel very emotional to appreciate wintersweet. It is really beautiful to bloom in the coldest time of the year facing the snow.

Title:Wintersweet

Wintersweet in yellow,  The flower of early spring Has now bloomed fully  To show us a sign that  A bitter winter is moving gradually  To the phase of its next chapter...

蝋梅の花咲く。 春が待ち遠しい。

蝋梅

2024.1.21

この土日は全く写真を撮りに行けなかった。雨だったということもあるんですけど何よりも体調が悪かった。

結局、何が原因で体調不良になったのかわからないいままだったんですけど何とか回復してきてくれたんでホッとしています。

正直、このまま治らなかったらどうしようって思う訳なんです。私も若くないですからね。

考えてみればカメラを担いで、好きな場所に撮りに行けるって幸せなことだと思うんですよね。今までそれが当たり前だったので気づかなかったんですけど、決してそれって当たり前の事じゃないんですよね。だからいろんな事に感謝しなくっちゃって思っています。

で、写真は花の文化園の蝋梅です。逆光の蝋梅ってアップで撮りたくなってしまうんですけど、今回はあえて広角で太陽を入れて撮ってみました。

最近は望遠レンズで撮ることが多かったので、やっぱり広角レンズもいいですよね。
