フタリシズカ
フタリシズカが咲いています。和名は能の『二人静』に由来します。写真のように茎の先端に２本の花穂をつけますが、花穂が３本以上のこともよくあります。花は変わった形をしていて、花弁やがくはなく、白い部分は雄しべです。
"Futari-Shizuka (フタリシズカ)" plants are in bloom. The name comes from a play called "Futari-Shizuka" of the Japanese traditional theatrical art "Noh (能)". They bear two flower spikes as you can see in the photo, but they often bear more than three. Their flowers are unique. The flowers have no petals or sepals. The white parts in the photo are their stamens.
