桜梅桃李 (o-bai-to-ri) “never compare yourself to others”

This yo-ji-juku-go (Japanese 4-character idiom) is comprised of 4 beloved Japanese trees. They are:

桜 = cherry (sakura)

梅 = apricot (ume)

桃 = peach (momo)

李 = plum (sumomo)

Each of these iconic trees blossoms in its own time and in its own unique way.

桜 (sakura) are of course the cherry blossom trees famous for blooming spectacularly and incredibly briefly once a year, usually in April. Sakura trees in full bloom is an annual event, and people go to their local park to see them, take photos, and have picnics underneath them. It's such a big deal that it's reported on the weather forecast, with reporters commenting on how quickly the "sakura front" is moving northwards across the country.

梅 (ume) is the "ume" in umeshu! This is a sweet liqueur which is made from soaking ume in sake. It tastes amazing, and is one of the things I miss most about Japan. Japanese learners will no doubt recognise "ume" as usually being translated as "plum", however it is technically closer to the Western apricot.

桃 (momo) is one of the best-loved fruits in Japan. There is even a fairy story called "Momo-taro" about a little boy who comes from inside a peach. He grows up to be a great hero, of course, and saves everyone from a demon. "Momo" is also a fairly common girls' name.

李 (sumomo) are known as "Japanese plums" or "Asian plums". The trees are famous for their delicate white flowers. They usually bloom just before the sakura. Whilst not as famous or as showy as sakura, they are well-loved for their elegance, and for being a sign of spring.

クリスマスイブ

2023.12.24

今日はクリスマスイブです。だからかどうか分かりませんけど道が混んでいます。

師走の忙しい時期になんとか時間をパズルのように調整して堺市都市緑化センターに撮りに行ってきたんですけど、道がめっちゃ混んでて次の予定に間に合わないかと思いました。

それに加えて、今日は長男の誕生日です。おじいちゃんおばあちゃんとお食事会があります。そして今日はクリスマスケーキではなく、お誕生日ケーキを用意しなくてはいけません。

クリスマスイブに誕生日ケーキを作ってくれるケーキ屋さんは稀です。作ってくれるケーキ屋さんを見つけても割り増し料金を取られます。結局、ケーキは自作することになりました。

もうそんなこんなで１日中大忙しです。なのにまだ年賀状を書いていない。明日までに出そうと心に決めていたのにまだ出せそうにない。

どんなに時間が足りなくても、写真を撮る時間は最低限確保しようと頑張ります。

写真は昨日撮ったヒマラヤザクラです。写真だけ見てると春を感じますけど、まだまだ寒い日が続きますよ。

蝋梅

2024.1.15

花の文化園に行って来ました。

行く時期によってだいたい何が咲いているか分かる場所ってありがたい限りです。こういうのを撮りたいってイメージできますからね。

今の季節は水仙や梅にはちょっと早いかなって思ってたんですけど、蝋梅にはちょうどいい季節に入ってきました。

それに水仙も咲き初めていて、こんな寒い季節でもいろんな花が見れるのが植物園の楽しみのひとつです。

いつもは長居植物園に行くことが多いんですけど、さすがに行き過ぎてて飽きてきました。そんなに花が咲いてる季節ではないですしね。

時間を見つけて服部緑地の都市緑化植物園にも行きたいんですけどね。ここは椿が有名な植物園でこれからが楽しみな場所なんです。

そうそう、蝋梅の話なんですけど、蝋梅って梅って書きますけど梅の仲間ではないらしいですよ。

If you enjoy the Video please leave it a like :) I upload Japan content a lot! Amaranthaceae Family (formerly chenopodiaceae) kochia genus Kochia (summer cypress) is an annual plant native to dry lands in the Eurasian Continent. As kochia grow, their colour changes from vibrant green in the summer to a greenish-red and finally to a bright scarlet in October.

Kochia bushes are known for their unique round shape and fluffy texture. Kochia were first planted in Hitachi Seaside Park so that visitors could enjoy the vibrant Autumn colours as most trees in the park are evergreen pines.

Area size around 1.9 hectares Total

number of plants 32,000

When to visit

Green kochia: mid-July – late September

Green-red gradient: early October

Scarlet red: mid-October

Golden: late October

Location Miharashi no Oka Hill

Cosmos flowers are one of the highlights of Japan's autumn months, and they often get the name of "autumn's cherry blossoms" owing to their color and beauty. There are numerous places to appreciate these colorful blooms across the country
