フィールド日記

ユキノシタが咲いています。古くから栽培され、人里近くの日陰に見られるユキノシタ科の多年草です。５枚の花弁のうち、下の２枚が大きく、ユニークな形をしています。葉はふつう赤味を帯びるようですが、不二聖心の個体は白い葉が多いと思います。

"Yukinoshita (ユキノシタ)" plants are in bloom. They are a perennial plant in the Saxifragaceae family that grow near human settlements because they have been cultivated for generations. They bloom unique flowers that have five petals, with the two lower ones being noticeably long. Their leaves are typically reddish, but the ones  on campus seem to be mostly white to me.
