種が零れて生えた「サルスベリ」の子供・・・成長を見守る

　庭には多種の植物が植わっていることから、毎年、種が自然と零れて、いろいろの子供が生まれます。特に多いのが「源平枝垂れ桃」の子供です。しかし、すべてを育てることはできず、現在、3本を育て、次世代の庭の主役になってもらいます。源平とは１本の木で紅白に咲き分けますが、メンデルの遺伝の法則により、実際には、子供は赤だけ、紅白、ピンクと白、絞りなどに分かれます。

　写真は現在開花中の真っ赤なサルスベリの子供が生えました。これは初めてのことです。一見したところ、葉が対なっており、素性が良いのでこのまま育て、来春に塀から離れた場所に植え替えて育てます。果たして、どんな樹木に成長するか、私もいつまでも元気で生きてなければなりません。

　サルスベリは百日紅とも書き、開花は約百日咲きますから、現在開花中の大きなサルスベリは７月から咲いてますが、１０月中旬まで咲くでしょう。鑑賞にいらして下さい。

Dear my Facebook friends who like crepe myrtle

　Since there are many kinds of trees planted in the garden, their seeds naturally fall off every year and various offspring are born. The most common are offspring of the Genpei weeping peach. Genpei means bicolor. However, it is impossible to grow all of them, so I am currently raising three trees to become the main focus of the garden as the next generation. Genpei weeping peach is one tree that bloom in red and white, but due to Mendel's laws of inheritance, the offspring can actually be divided into red only, red and white, pink and white, striped, etc.

　The photo shows a baby of bright red crepe myrtle that is currently in bloom. This is the first time this child has born. At first glance, the leaves are paired and it looks like a vibrant plant, so I will raise it as it is and replant it in a place away from the fence next spring. Therefore, I have to stay healthy and live forever. I wonder what kind of tree it will grow in the future.

　Crepe myrtle is also written as it blooms for about 100 days, so the large crepe myrtle that is currently in bloom has been blooming since July, and will continue to bloom until mid-October, I guess. Please come and see it.
