This is not enough to bloom yet. The highest temperature yesterday in Tokyo 31.7 ℃. I think that it takes several weeks until autumn comes in Shakujii park. ----- ちょっとまだ開花が少ないですね。昨日の東京の最高気温は31.7℃。石神井公園の秋を楽しめるようになるには、まだ何週間か掛かるかもしれないですね。
On fine Sunday, I took a walk through a forest of Shakujii park. And I came across various autumn trees and plants there. The plate which showed the name was attached to some plants, but this did not have it. FYI, A Mizuhiki is an ornamental braid added to a present and an envelope. ----- 天気のいい日曜日、石神井公園の林を散策していると、さまざまな秋の草木にめぐり合えます。いくつかの植物にはその名前を示すプレートがつけられていますが、これにはありませんでした。
I thought that I was surely the wild grass of autumn since this was found in the wood in Shakujii park. However, this is originally from Mexico and seems to bloom almost throughout the year. ----- ぼくはこれを石神井公園の林の中で見つけたので秋の野草に違いないと思っていました。ところがこれはメキシコ原産で、ほとんど1年中咲いているそうです。
