My family gave some presents for me for Mother’s day yesterday. My daughter in low gave me this present for me. This tree is called Heart Tree that is kind of a small evergreen tree from Okinawa. The tree bloomed with a white flower in April then it will make a heart berry like this from July. This heart berry was fake but real one will see from July. I can’t wait.
上の写真は昨日子供達から母の日のプレゼントとして頂いた、ハートツリーこれは常葉低木の一種を10年以上かけて品種改良して、4月には白い花を咲かせ、7月からはこのように赤いハートの実をつけるらしい。本当かなあ。今ついているのは偽物だけれど、7月になるのが今から待ちどうしい。下は行燈の玄関に飾ってあるハートのツル、こちらは銀座の松坂屋さんのお花屋さんで去年の暮に頂いたもの。なんと半分枯れていたものを、ただで頂いたものが、今はこのようにフサフサです。肥料をあげて大切に水をかけていたのが良かったようです。大きなハートと小さなハート、どちらも心をなごませます。皆さまありがとう。 T
