ハコネウツギ
ハコネウツギが咲いています。花は初め白色ですが、しだいに赤色に変わっていくため、一本の木に白色と赤色の花が混じって咲いているように見えます。和名に箱根とつきますが、全国の沿岸地に広く見られるようです。
"Hakone-Utsugi (ハコネウツギ)" trees are in bloom. Their flowers are white when they start to bloom, and then they gradually turn red. Because of this, it looks like each tree has both white and red flowers. The Japanese name includes "Hakone (箱根)", which is a Japanese town, but "Hakone-Utsugi" trees grow widely in coastal areas in Japan.
