ヒノキ林でヤブムラサキの花が咲いていました。近縁のムラサキシキブとともに、秋に美しい紫色の果実をつけることで知られていますが、初夏に咲く花もかわいらしい花です。


"Yabu-Murasaki (ヤブムラサキ)" trees are in bloom in the Japanese cypress woodland. Like their close relative species "Murasaki-Shikibu (ムラサキシキブ)", "Yabu-Murasaki" are known for their beautiful purple fruit. However, the flower that blooms in the early summer is also pretty.
