ネムノキ
ネムノキが咲いています。マメ科の落葉高木で、山地の林縁や土手などでよく見られます。花は多数の赤い長い雄しべがよく目立ちます。和名は眠の木の意味で、夜になると葉が閉じることに由来します。
"Nemunoki (ネムノキ)" trees are in bloom. They are deciduous tall trees belonging to the leguminous plants that often grow on the edges of mountains and banks. Their flowers have many outstanding long red stamens. The name means "trees that sleep" and comes from the fact that their leaves close at night.
