 センニンソウが果実をつけています。日本に自生するクレマチスの仲間で、果実から生える羽毛状の毛が良く目立ちます。和名は、仙人草の意味で、この毛を仙人の白髪に見立てています。



"Sennin-Sou (センニンソウ)" plants are bearing their fruits. They are clematis that grow in the wild in Japan. The feather-like hair on their fruits are eye-catching. Their name, "Sennin," means hermits, those who live in solitude especially for religious reasons, and it comes from the feather-like hair that looks like hermit's gray hair.
