Roses and painting

The Japanese archipelago where unusual summer days followed for May followed. A rose called rose rose at once all over the country.
The rose garden rose is in full bloom even with "Harb Garden Trip Diary" of Katsunuma.







Speaking of roses, I think of gorgeous large flowers, but I personally like single-flowered flowers that are close to the original species. Is this a rose? There is also something that you think of.





And also the slippery roses that bloom small flowers.





Do you think that roses are similar to paintings? Even if I do not know the value of the painting at all, I can feel whether it is a favorite picture or not. I wonder if I should look at the roses as well. There were some roses that would be nice if it bloomed in my home garden.



This day was not blooming yet, but there was a Disney brand rose. It is this rose that entertains guests at Disneyland around the world. Mickey tag is a mark. It is somewhere in the rose garden. Please look for it.



Anyway, there are many varieties, so you will surely find your favorite rose. You can enjoy the rose garden wrapped in a sweet scent until the middle of June.

Wine that raises your life a notch

Japanese wine refers to domestically brewed wine using only raw materials grown in Japan. In recent years, Japanese wine has gained a high reputation overseas, but Lorient wine produced by Katsunuma-cho "Hakuyuri Brewing" is the foremost part.
Lorient wine wins again this year at the Sommelier Wine Awards held each year in the United Kingdom. Superbly won the only silver medal in Japan. The sommelier in the UK, buyers and owners of famous restaurants, etc., are evaluating the imported wine, so it is a taste that the world has recognized.









In fact, Mr. Hakurei Brewing has won many awards at domestic and international wine competitions. However, the shop has a casual and warm atmosphere. Everyone is willing to put in and can do various tastings. It's a factory that isn't too big, so it's a well-made wine that takes affection and effort, and it is possible to bring back the wine connoisseurs around the world.
Wine is made by people. It seems that you will be reminded of that again.



This year's moth has swelled.
Yamanashi is a wine kingdom, but if you come across really delicious wines, here's "Hakuyuri brewing" is definitely recommended.

Walking path of the dumpling from the flower

Just taking a walk in the neighborhood is a wonderful time to see various flowers.
I visited a temple near Shioyama in Koshu city today. I saw a variety of flowers from Hoko-ji Temple, Jiunji Temple, and Erin-ji Temple. But the protagonist of this time is not a flower.
An introduction to Kai Fukumochi purchased from "Shingenyakata" next to Eirinji.





When you open the package that treated Erin-ji and Takeda-ryo, you will find a lovely purse-string anko-tei. The sweetness is modest and smooth, and it is a fluffy chopsticks. It's a lighter eating response than it looks, and it's perfect for a tea time after walking.



ai Fukumochi is the original product of "Shingenyakata". It is not sold elsewhere, but it can be ordered from the website.
The Shioyama area is a place where you can enjoy flower competitions with plenty of flowers, such as glazes, flowers, hydrangeas and lotus. Would you like to go there?

The secret story of the birth of peach

A peach flower that blooms to follow the cherry blossoms. In the Kofu Basin, pink carpets spread from the lower elevation to run up the hill in order.
At Asama-en in Ichinomiya-cho, at a height above the basin, the peak of flowering was at the same time as the pollination work. It seems that white peach peach has less pollen and artificial pollination is indispensable.



First, pick flowers that are rich in pollen. It seems to be good for the openness of about seven minutes. Grains attached to the tip of the stamen. There is pollen in this.







Put the picked flowers in a special machine and divide them into petals and flower core parts. Then sift it and take out only the pollen sac containing pollen. It is steady work.









If you put it in a plate and put it in a machine and dry it, you will get yellowish pollen. You put it on a hair-like tool and let it pollinate one flower at a time.
The seasons of flowers are slightly shifted due to the yearly weather and weather. It's a great job to work on farming while identifying it. We are in a state of jealousy that flowers bloom and are beautiful, and we have a hardship that we can not imagine.
Also, this is for us to eat sweet and fresh peach fruits.
I am looking forward to meeting that taste this year.

In search of the thumb princess

When you were a child, what flower did you learn first? I think there are a lot of people who answer "Tulip". I am also one of them.
I guess that's why, when you look at the tulips, let's go back to a child's mind somehow.
In "Herb Garden Trip Journal", 50,000 shares of tulips are in full bloom this year.







And remember, Andersen's fairy tale 'Thumb princess'. It is a story of a little girl born from among tulip flowers. What was the end of that story? I was interested and I found out that I married a prince of flowers and lived happily. It is a kind of story that is suitable for plump and rounded cute flowers.
In Britain, it seems that tulips are called "a fairy's cradle". And Anderson also thought of "Thumb princess" while watching the tulip flower sway.



The thumb princess may be sleeping in the blossoming tulip flowers.
The best time until the end of April.

Open the picture book of spring

A wonderful view as if you got lost in a picture book. It is the small diameter of peach and rape blossoms.





A hare of flowers made like a labyrinth walks out of the bush of rape blossoms, and a wild rabbit pops out to guide you. It is a mysterious place that is likely to cause such a fantasy without thinking.
There is no doubt that it is a great SNS shine spot. The small children were also running around with fun.
The contrast of the blue sky, pink peach flowers and yellow rapeseed is a symbol of spring.



This is a flower garden area that appears only in the spring at "Misaka Farm Farm Grape House". Letters posted to the yellow post in Wonderland reach the important person properly.

pring luxury

Cherry blossoms in full bloom if you look up. And if you look down, the sea of light. How about such a cherry blossom viewing?
Here is Takeda's Cape near Shosenkyo. Famous for trail running courses. It is a bit boring spot for cherry blossom viewing, so it may not go much except local people.
For a limited time, when looking up from all over the city, the top of the mountain will appear white and hazy, and I think, "Oh, this year has also begun."
It is a special place recommended for those who want to enjoy a fantastic spring night quietly instead of enjoying cherry blossoms with a blue sheet.









At the log house style service center, the behavior of warm sweet sake is also available. It was so warm that it still infiltrated the slightly cold night wind.

Face of Shosenkyo Gorge

The warm day continues to such an extent that it is February. On Sunday calm without wind, I took a walk on the valley road of Shosenkyo. Looking into the flow, water is still beautiful as ever. I could feel the sign of spring approaching the reflection of light.



Even so to say that there is still little green, the situation where rocky skin is exposed. With that, I noticed that because it is this season I can enjoy it.



Ruined rocks and rocks unique to Shosenkyo. From the summer where it hides in the green trees, its power was overwhelming and surprised again. It is a power spot of a miraculous work.



Since I heard tweets, sulururu and cute chirp, I looked up and could see Kogera, a bird of the size as large as a sento. Shosenkyo is also known as a treasure trove of wild birds. If you are lucky, you can also meet the beautiful blue kisekirei.
This season is also suitable for bird watching. Because wild birds are easy to find.






It is fun to look for signs of faint spring. It was just good temperature to walk.
