ヌスビトハギ
お茶室のそばでヌスビトハギが咲いています。林縁などに生えるマメ科の多年草です。和名は、豆の形が盗人が忍び足（つま先歩き）で歩いた時の足跡の形に似ているからという説や、豆が人や動物にくっついて移動するようすに由来するという説があります。
"Nusubito-Hagi" plants are in bloom by the tea house. They are perennial plants in the Fabaceae family that commonly grow along forest edges. There are some theories about the origin of their Japanese name. One is that the shape of their seed pods resembles the footprints of a thief walking on tiptoe. Another is that the pods stick to people and animals, allowing the seeds to be carried to new places.
