メドハギ
メドハギが咲いています。草地などに生えるマメ科の多年草です。蝶形花とともに、花が開かずにつぼみのまま結実する閉鎖花をつけることが知られています。和名は、筮（めどぎ）とよばれる占いに用いる細い棒の材料として使われたことに由来します。
"Medohagi (メドハギ)" plants are in bloom. They are the perennial plants that belong to the leguminous plants and grow on grass fields. It is known that they have the butterfly-like flowers and also the closed flowers, which bear fruits as buds without opening. The name comes from the fact that they were once used to make "Medogi (筮)", which is a thin stick used for fortune telling.
