校庭の隅でトキワハゼが咲いています。名前のトキワ（常盤）は、一年中花を咲かせることに由来します。よく似た仲間に、ムラサキサギゴケがありますが、ムラサキサギゴケは春に咲きます。


"Tokiwahaze (トキワハゼ)" plants are in bloom in the corner of our school ground. "Tokiwa" in its name means "always" and they are actually in bloom all year around. There is a very similar species that is called "Murasakisagigoke (ムラサキサギゴケ)", but they bloom in spring.
