アカメガシワが咲いています。伐採跡地や崩落地などにいち早くみられる落葉高木です。雌雄異株で、写真は雌花です。和名の「アカメ」は、新芽が赤いことに由来します。

"Akame-Gashiwa (アカメガシワ)" trees are in bloom. They are the tall trees growing in logging sites and landslide areas. They are divided into two groups: the male trees and the female trees. The one in this photo is a female tree. "Akame (アカメ)" in its name indicates that their sprouts are red.
