Mt. Takao (June 12th)

Dendrobium moniliforme (Sekkoku).
The flowers were in peak now.

Today we went to Mt. Takao. It was cloudy, but it was good chance for us to go out... We haven't been out for a while... That is why I didn't upload any pictures here at my blog for a while.
Because of the cloudy weather, there weren't so many people visiting Mt. Takao today. So we enjoyed hiking at our pace. On the trail No. 6, we found lots of Dendrobium moniliforme (Sekkoku) flowers blooming on the branches of some old cedar trees. It seems that they bloom as much as the last year. Maybe little bit less...
We also found some Pseudopyxis depressa f. angustiloba (Hoshizaki Inamori-sou) flowers and normal Pseudopyxis depressa (Inamori-sou) flowers.

久々に高尾山へ。
曇り空の為か、いつもに比べてかなり人は少なめ。
セッコクは例年並に咲いているようでした。人が少ない分、ゆっくり撮影できました。
おまけに、ホシザキイナモリソウがきれいに咲いているところを見ることができました。１号路では、通常バージョンのイナモリソウも結構、咲いていました。

しっかり見たのは今回がはじめてかも…いつもタイミングが上手く合いませんでした。

It has stary-shaped flowers.

Here is the normal one. The flower shape is totally different from the ones above.
こちらが普通のイナモリソウ。葉っぱがバジルみたいです。
