This year’s cherry blossoms are vigorous. Usually, it starts to fall about a week after it is in full bloom, but there is no sign of it.  Kirishima-tsutsuji that being to bloom from the time the cherry blossoms begin to fall are in full bloom without waiting.  Kirishima-tsutsuji which was born from the natural crossing with Miyama-Kirishima, which bloom in Kirishima Highlands, and Yamatsutsuji, blooms bright red like the flower of the land of fire.  The pale cherry blossoms and the crimson Krishima-tsutsuji contrast.  Starting with this, various flowers will bloom one after another.  That flower blooms, this flower blooms, I imagine the flower that will bloom while looking at the calendar, and every day I am thrilled while making a schedule.

今年の桜は元気です。満開から大体１週間経てば散り始めますが、その気配はまったくありません。桜が散り始める頃から花開くキリシマツツジが待ち切れずにもう満開です。生地霧島に咲くミヤマキリシマとヤマツツジが自然交配して生まれたキリシマツツジは、火の国の花らしく真っ赤に花を咲かせます。淡い色の桜と真紅のキリシマツツジは対照的です。これを皮切りにこれから様々な花が咲きます。あの花が咲き、この花が咲く、カレンダーを見ながらこれから咲く花を想像し、予定を立てながら胸をときめかす毎日です。
