Jindai Botanical Garden (March 15th)

Prunus campanulata (Kanhizakura)

Today we went to Jindai Botanical Garden to see the plum blossoms. At the pond in the garden we saw 2 Kingfisher birds. They must live in the garden. Some of the cherry blossoms were already blooming. At the plum garden the peak of the flower was passed already, but quite a few people were still enjoying the flowers. We found one little violet blooming under the plum tree.

神代植物公園へ出かけてきました。桜も早咲きのものが何種類か咲き始めています。梅園では、コスミレを一株見つけることができました。


Anemone pseudoaltaica (Kikuzaki ichige)
青紫のキクザキイチゲがたくさん咲いていました。近くには、ミスミソウも色鮮やかな花を咲かせています。カタクリも葉が出て、固い蕾が一つ二つ見つけることができました。


Warm spring day. You can see some kingfishers at this pond.
