Welcome June 芸香 映山红

Rue opens flowers. This plant is very strong against the cold weather. Rue had been used as medicine in Europe.

Ophelia says "there's rue for you; and here's some for me: we may call it herb-grace o' Sundays."

The leaf has particular smell. In old China, people had placed Rue leaves in a book to protect it from a bookworm.

 This is Satsuki azalea. You will see lots of this plant shaping small hills in a Japanese garden.

 I don't know the name of the blue one. I love it because this blight blue makes me feel I am in a British style garden.

 I was surprised at this big red poppy. 

This tree had been planted to indicate the border of a field's owner. It has many small white flowers in the beginning of a rainy season.

 Wheat is waiting for reaping. I pay a great respect to a person who had an idea to powder this to make bread for the first time and also to a man who made beer with it.
