”Happy Sakura”

It's the season of cherry blossoms "Sakura" in Japan.
They are in full bloom at my workplace NOW


 Talking of my garden, "Moss  phlox(芝桜)" "Weeping forsythia
(れんぎょう)" "Thunberg spirea (雪柳)" are full bloom now. 
I have a great fancy for all the flowers.








This is a Pasqueflower(翁草).
I  happened to meet the feathery seedheads of these flowers while traveling
 in Okayama Prefecture before. I felt them so cute, and I thought that I wanted
to grow  them in my garden some day. And they is getting bigger  under
 the Kumquat tree in my garden year by year. I really like every fuzzy
flower buds, lovely purple flowers and fuzzy, feathery seedheads.




Camellia(椿)

Camellia called  Seiobo(西王母/せいおうぼ)


I planted Red Leaf Lettuce's seeds ,which my father gave me,
 in last fall. and this goes well like this now. I harvested some
 to make a green salad with tofu.



These "bunchflower daffodils" last started flowering in my narcissuses.  
I just arranged them with fresh feeling.

Then, Have a WONDERFUL week!!

Beautiful lettuce! I do want to touch that pasqueflower. It's so very unusual. Everything is very beautiful! Is it the right thing to say "happy Sakura"?

"Sakura" has many images such as "cherry blossom viewing" "drinking party:)" "farewell" and "encounter" for us. Of course lots of Japanese enjoy cherry blossom viewing this season.
"happy Sakura" sound good.I like it very much,and I just changed my title to "happy sakura".
