Fukiage Iris Garden, Ome (June 15th)

Fukiage Iris Garden.

We went to the Fukiage Iris Garden again today. More kinds of irises were blooming today. The variety of colors and patterns was amazing.

東青梅駅より吹上菖蒲園へ出かけてきました。２週間前よりもたくさんの種類が咲いていて、色合いの種類の多さには本当に驚きます。自分は特に「長井系」が好きです。










This kind is named "Hawk's claw".

Mt. Takao (June 8th)

Dendrobium moniliforme (Sekkoku)

We went to Mt. Takao to see Dendrobium moniliforme (Sekkoku) flowers. There were lots of people today. We could also find the nice Pseudopyxis depressa (Inamori-sou) flowers. This flower is somehow kind of difficult to find the open flowers, but this time we found several of them. And we found that they have a few varieties actually.

高尾山のセッコクを見に出かけてきました。６号路はたくさんの人が訪れていました。セッコクも見事に咲いています。ハナイカダも実をつけています。イナモリソウも咲いていました。


All those white things are Dendrobium moniliforme (Sekkoku) flowers.

Fukiage Iris Garden, Ome (June 1st)

Fukiage Iris Garden.

We went to Fukiage Iris Garden, Ome today. It was really beautiful day...blue sky and nice breeze... It was a little too early for the irises, but we could see some of the early ones and the green field with the iris leaves looked just pretty beautiful. After the iris garden, we went to Sawai and tasted some Sake at the Ozawa brewery and enjoyed walking beside the Tama river.

青梅の吹上菖蒲園に出かけてきました。まだ咲いている花は少なかったのですが、天気も良くて緑の中を歩くだけでも十分、楽しく時間を過ごすことができました。その後、沢井から御岳周辺を散策してきました。
