このクレマチスをいつも忘れてしまいますが、毎年びっくりさせられます。

I am always forgetting about this clematis, and each year it surprises me.

Sidewalk sunflowers bloom in busy Shinjuku commercial corridor

新宿は、人工の照明ばかりなのに、この歩道のヒマワリが明るく見えます。区が植えたようではないです。誰がいつ植えたのでしょう。

I love these rogue sunflowers growing in the sidewalk of Shinjuku Dori, a busy commercial corridor. At night the flowers are brighter than all the artificial lights.

Morning glory on green curtain blooms longer in the rain

雨の日は、昼まで琉球アサガオが咲いています。いっぱいです。

For four years, this Okinawa morning glory returns each year. While the annual Edo morning glories are just starting to climb, the Okinawa morning glory is already blooming and extending its reach to all corners of the narrow balcony.
