【Flowers bloom at night——花は夜ひらく〜♪】

Nature is the most beautiful things in our world. We rely on the nature that provide us benefits for free, everyday and everywhere! I got a flower bloomed in my garden AT NIGHT and it was the very first time in 4 years! To my surprise, my dear nature consultant Pro. Maketab informed me that most tropical flowers are more fragrant at night. The night blooming flowers are adapted to attract insects or animals active in the night such as bats and moths. What a beauty of nature! Learning to appreciate little things around me. Thank you Professor. Maketab for your information.???? 庭の水やりも最近雨季のお陰で逃れていた私。JBへ引っ越してきたばかりの頃にナーサリーから仕入れたプラント(名前が分からない。。)がとうとう花を咲かせた!一時は水のやり過ぎで根が腐って、日向に置き換えたら今度は葉が黄色くなってしまい慌てて日陰に移動させた。。その後なんとか生き延びてきたプラントがバーナスを与えてくれた。最初はそれがなんだか理解できずに、夜満開になった姿を見て初めて開花したんだと気付いた始末。夕方には沢山のハチが群がっていたり、もしかしたら夜な夜なコウモリもきていたのかも。。。(なんて想像)三日目には花が殆ど落ちてしまった短い花見だったけど学ばせて貰いました。
