 ウマノアシガタが咲いています。キンポウゲ科の多年草です。本来は八重咲きのものをキンポウゲと呼んでいましたが、現在では本種の別名をキンポウゲとしているようです。花弁には光沢があり、クヌギ林の木漏れ日でキラキラと光って見えます。

"Umano-Ashigata (ウマノアシガタ)" plants are in bloom. They are perennial plants that belong to the "Kinpouge (キンポウゲ)" family. The double‐flowered ones were originally called "Kinpouge," but now, "Kinpouge" is used as an alias of this species. Their petals are reflective, so they are shiny under the sunlight coming through the leaves in the Japanese chestnut oak woodland.
