アキノタムラソウが咲いています。名前にアキノとついていますが、夏から咲き始めます。同じ仲間にナツノタムラソウもあり、花の咲く時期が重なっているためまぎらわしいです。

アキノタムラソウは下の写真のように、葯が開くころ、おしべが下向きに強く曲がるという特徴があります。

"Akino-Tamurasou (アキノタムラソウ)" plants are in bloom. "Akino" in the name means "fall" but they start to bloom in the summer. There is a relative species called "Natsuno-Tamurasou (ナツノタムラソウ)" and "Natsuno" in the name means "summer." Both of the flowering periods of "Akino-Tamurasou" and "Natsuno-Tamurasou" are overlapping each other and it is difficult to tell one from the other.  One of the differences is the stamens of "Akino-Tamurasou" bend downward when their anthers are opening.
