旧・桃の節句に合わせて咲く源平枝垂れ桃

　
　梅の花はすでに散り、昨日の大風でハクモクレンの花も半分以上が落ちました。ここでいよいよ私の番であると登場してきたのが、写真上の品種名・東洋錦(紅白２色咲き)の木瓜(ボケ)です。写真では花が赤いですが、他の枝には白も咲いてます。未だ２分咲きですから、よく咲いたらすべてをアップします。

　一方、写真下は４ヶ日後に迫った「旧・桃の節句」にちゃんと合わせて咲く花桃が今朝から咲き出しました。実は、これは庭に種が零れて生えたもので、親は未だ咲いてないのに子供が先に咲き出しました。この桃の品種名は「源平枝垂れ」です。10日ほど前に昨年の開花をこのページに載せたことがあります。

　昨年の開花後、庭に入るとすぐ見える場所に植え替えました。親は紅白の二色なのに、子供は１本の木に赤・白・絞りの３色咲きです。いまのところ、未だ１分咲きです。今年はいっそう見応えがあると思いますので、お近くの方は、ぜひ、いらして直接ご覧ください。実は私が一番力を入れてるのは花桃なのです。

　今日は風もなく、大安なので愛車で群馬の花の名所を巡って来ます。助手席には大切なフェイスブック友人の方が載ってるつもりで丁寧な運転を心掛けます。また、最近の黄砂に負けず、車の塗装面はシャンプー後できれいです。

Dear my FB friends who are crazy about driving for sightseeing and great music.

　The simultaneous interpretation into English for your understanding will be done after my breakfast Japan time.

　The plum blossoms have already fallen, and yesterday's strong winds have caused more than half of the white magnolia flowers to fall. Now, as if she said "It's my turn to show up", and the Toyo Nishiki variety (bicolor blooms red and white) in the photo above has come out. In the photo, the flowers are red, but the other branches have also white. They are only half in bloom now, so I will upload all of them when she is fully in bloom.

　Meanwhile, in the photo below, as you know a flowering peach tree will bloom just in time for the "old Peach Festival for girls" in four days, has started to bloom since this morning. In fact, this peach tree grew from a seed that was spilled in the garden. This baby tree started to bloom before the parent tree had yet to bloom. The name of this peach variety is "Genpeishidare". I posted a photo of last year's blooming on this page about 10 days ago.

　After last year's blooming, I replanted her in a place where she can be seen immediately when you enter the garden in the near future. The parent tree is red and white, but the baby tree is red, white, and striped, blooming in three colors on one tree. For now, they are only 10% in bloom. I think this year will be even more spectacular beyond expectation, so if you're in the area, please come and see her for yourself. In fact, this is Just between you and me and lamppost, What I'm making the most effort is the peach blossoms.

　Today is not windy, different from yesterday and it's the traditional Japanese lucky day called "Taian", so I'm going to drive around Gumma's famous flower spots by my favorite car as you see in the photo. I'll drive carefully, imagining that a dear Facebook friend is in the passenger seat. Also, despite the recent yellow sand, the paint on my car is clean after shampooing, so don't worry.
