Happy Colors Red & Pink! 冬のアゲアゲ色!

Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。

Look at these pink and red plants! Such bright and lively colors in winter makes me happy! 

Ornamental cabbage or "leaf peony" in Japanese in Ueno peony garden

The Japanese name of ornamental cabbage is "ha botan," meaning "leaf peony" although it has nothing to do with peonies (such as the one below) but its appearance.

冬に赤やピンクを見ると元気になります。そこで最近見かけたものを並べて見ました。(27種類の牡丹をご覧になりたい方はこちらをどうぞ!)

葉牡丹って見た目以外は牡丹と関係なく、英語では ornamental cabbage と言うようです。「飾りキャベツ」?? 分かりやすいですが風情があるかと問われると、うむむ。。。という感じですね。
