コセンダングサが咲いています。熱帯に広く分布するキク科の１年草です。果実はいわゆる「ひっつき虫」で、先端にトゲが３本ほどあり、動物や衣類にくっついて運ばれます。

"Ko-Sendangusa" plants are in bloom. They are annual plants in the Asteraceae family that widely grow in the tropical regions. Their fruit, which is commonly known as "Hittsukimushi", are dispersed by animals and clothing, as the fruit have hooks at their tips.
