Jindai Botanical Garden, Chofu (March 3rd)

 

Helleborus (Christmas Rose).

    We went to Jindai Botanical Garden to see some plum blossoms.  In the garden, there were lots of Christmas roses blooming, too.  The Daruma Festival was held in the temple today, so there were a lot of people visiting the temple and the garden.

神代植物公園に出かけてきました。梅や蝋梅、マンサクなどの春の木の花がたくさん咲いていました。クリスマスローズもいろんな花色のものが咲いていました。改めて見るとかわいいですね。
今日は、深大寺で、だるま市が開かれていて、露店がたくさん出ていました。

The street in front of Jindai Temple was filled with people!

以前、だるま市に来た時よりも混んでたかも…

 

The Daruma Festival was held today at the temple.

 

There were too many people, so we gave up eating lunch at the Soba restaurant and had some Okonomiyaki.

 

Some orchids in the greenhouse.

 

We saw Tarsiger cyanurus (Ruri-bitaki) in the garden.

ルリビタキも見つけましたよ。
