      　Dear Merry Witch.
      こんばんは。ロウバイだけですと少し寂しいのでクリスマスローズも入れてみました。
      　いよいよ野の花の季節が始まります。気持ちがわくわくするのももうすぐです。

    Oh my goodness, Minoru, these flowers are beautiful.
    I was hoping for an early spring, but it sounds like a big snowstorm is coming our way late this week.
    Until then, I can look at your beautiful photographs, and dream of spring. :-)

      Thank you. It'S awful to have a big snowstorm. I hope we will spend the storm safely.
      I wish you have a nice and safe weekend.

    こんばんは、ソシンロウバイとロウバイの区別がよく分からず、ネットを引いたら
    素心ロウバイ、満月ロウバイと漢字で書いてる人もいました。さらに調べるとソシンロウバイのが色が透き通るように薄くて写真の写りが良さそうに見えましたが実際はいかがですか。
    刺激を受けまして土日月の３連休は梅とスイセンはまだ早そうなので
    １）府中市郷土の森博物館のロウバイの小径
    ２）国営昭和記念公園のアイスチューリップ
    ３）浅草浅草寺の１０月桜
    の３連荘を目指そうかと思ってます。

      弘世旅空様

      　おはようございます。この「ろうばいの里」は満月ロウバイごほとんどでした。
      　ロウバイはあと１週間後から咲き始める様です。
      　帰国したばかりで三連荘とは若さですね。
      　２月９日から15日まで避寒のため石垣島に行ってきます。ノートパソコンは持っていませんので1週間ご無沙汰させて頂きます。

    こんにちは。今日も寒く、時々雪が舞っています。こんな時にも花を咲かせてくれる木々をありがたく思います。蠟梅の優しい黄色がいいですね。我が家のクリスマスローズも咲き始めました。山茶花も色あせ、冬の庭の貴重な花ですのに、いつも謙虚に下を向いて咲いています。石垣島レポート楽しみにしています。

      Dear stardust.
      おはようございます。1週間も家を留守にすると帰宅した後が大変です。毎日ドタバタの連続です。
      　近いうちに石垣島のブログを書きたいと思っています。
