Idle Days - Purple Moon
ベランダの植木鉢にある日突然出てきた芽。
だんだん伸びてきて暑い夏を乗り切ってしまいました。
何の花なのかわからずにそのままになっていました。
葉っぱがかなり伸びてきて、ふとどこかでみたような気がする~と、思っていたところ、
歩道を歩いていて同じ葉っぱを見つけました。
ブルーの小さな花がつく「むらさきつゆくさ」です!
あらら~、風で飛んできたのか、購入した土の中に種が混ざっていたのか
原因は不明ですが、芽が出て存在感をアピールできてよかったですよ!
もしかしたら??と期待してしまいます。
花は一日花なんです。
次々と花を咲かせるため朝咲いて夕方に萎むイメージが
あまりなくて少しビックリです!
コンクリートの隙間かニョキニョキ出てきている
たくましさが見える可憐な花です。
秋に花が咲くといいな~
One day, a sprout suddenly appeared in a flowerpot on the balcony. It gradually grew and survived the hot summer. I didn't know what kind of flower it was, so I left it as it was. The leaves had grown quite a bit, and I suddenly thought I'd seen it somewhere before, and then, while walking along the sidewalk, I found the same leaf. It's a "purple tulip" with small blue flowers! Oh dear, maybe it was blown by the wind, or there were seeds mixed in with the soil I bought. I don't know what caused it, but I'm glad it sprouted and made its presence known! You often see this flower, don't you? It seems to bloom twice a year. I can't help but hope. The flower only blooms for one day. I'm a little surprised because I don't really have the image of it blooming in the morning and wilting in the evening to bloom one after another! It's a delicate flower that looks tough, popping out of the cracks in the concrete. I hope it blooms in the fall.
