Kyodo-no-mori Park, Bubaigawara (March 5th)


Cerasus lannesiana (Kawazu Zakura) on the way to Kyodo-no-mori Park from Koremasa Sta.

We went to Kyodo-no-mori Park in Fuchuu city to see some plum blossoms.
It was Friday, but quite a few older people were there. It was really warm here in Tokyo today, actually it was so hot that we both just wore only T-shirt until the sun was setting.


Erythronium japonicum (Katakuri).

Prunus mume "Bungo". 「豊後」
I like this kind best. It has nice fragrance and it reminds me of the plum blossom in the yard of my hometown.


Prunus mume "Kuroda-bai". 「黒田梅」
もう一つ目に留まったのが、この品種。
花の色合い、花びらの形、重なり具合、とても素敵です。


Prunus mume "Kuroda-bai". 「黒田梅」
This one was also beautiful! The flower nearly looks like a rose.


Prunus mume "Bungo". 「豊後」
比較的遅く咲くという「豊後」も満開に近い状態でした。
「野梅」などの白系の梅ともまた違った香りがして、大好きです。


Prunus mume "Bungo". 「豊後」
実家の庭にあった梅も多分、この品種だったのかも…
香りをかぐと、何だか懐かしく感じます。


Prunus mume "Omoi no mama". 「思いのまま」
This kind has pink and white flowers in a tree.


We found some Crocus flowers in the park, too.

My Prunus mume is flowering at the same time in France. P.mume "Beni-chidori".The flowers are beautiful and the perfume is delicate. I have another one called ""Omoi-no-mama", a double one but to small for flowering now. These trees are not common at all in my country. I have never got fruits from them...

It is pretty amazing that you grow some Prunes mume trees in France. There is a big nice Plum garden in Tokyo. So, we are going to go there in a few weeks.
Here in Tokyo, it will be soon the nice season to go out to the mountains to find some violets, too.
