ハイチゴザサ
ヒノキ林の林床でハイチゴザサが咲いています。湿った林床に生える多年草です。名前の通り、茎の途中から根を出しながら、地面をはうように成長します。
小さくて目立たない植物ですが、花を拡大すると、ピンク色の柱頭がきれいです。
"Haichigozasa (ハイチゴザサ)" plants are in bloom on the Japanese cypress woodland floor. They are a perennial plant on moist forest floors. The name means "small bamboo grass crawling on ground". "Haichigozasa (ハイチゴザサ)" plants literally grow on the ground with their stems holding their roots and look like a small bamboo grass.
The plants are not outstanding because they are small, but when you look closely at their flowers, their pink capitals are beautiful.
