ナツグミ
共生の森でナツグミが咲いていました。共生の森にはアキグミも植栽されており、どちらも春に花を咲かせますが、ナツグミは初夏に、アキグミは秋に果実が熟します。ナツグミはほぼ銀白色の鱗状毛のみに覆われるアキグミに対して、褐色の鱗状毛が混じるのが特徴です。
"ナツグミ(natsugumi)" is in bloom in the "共生の森(Kyouseinomori)". We also have "アキグミ(akigumi)" in the "共生の森". Both of them bloom in spring. "ナツ(natsu)" means "summer" and "アキ(aki)" means "fall". Literally, "ナツグミ" and "アキグミ" grows ripe in summer and in fall respectively. You can distinguish "ナツグミ" from "アキグミ" by their features. The leaves of "ナツグミ" are covered with white and brown hair but "アキグミ" only has white hair.
