Jindai Botanical Garden (March 21st)


Cerasus x kanzakura "Oh-kanzakura" (Oo-kan-zakura).

Today we were first going to Takao to see if any spring flowers were growing yet, but it was not sunny and the wind was really strong since yesterday, so we ended up going to Jindai Botanical Garden in Chofu. Some of the cherries were already blooming there. We found the pretty nice patch of Erythronium japonicum (Katakuri), too.

今日は、高尾の日影・小下沢あたりを散策しようかと思って、駅まで行ったのですが、風もあるし、天気もいまいちだったので、結局は神代植物公園に。桜が、何種類か咲いていて、花桃も見ごろです。片栗を植えているところが増えていました。もうすっかり春ですね。



Anemone pseudoaltaica (Kikuzaki Ichige).
They have purple ones like this in this garden. You can see something like this originally at the snowy area such as the Touhoku regions and Niigata prefecture, etc.


Magnolia kobus (Kobushi).
It smells nice and sweet.
