Red and Pink Crepe Myrtle Flowers! 百日紅は百日楽しめる!

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

I've already written about crepe myrtle three times this year. 


And again, now, I'm writing about it because I've seen its various pink and red flowers!!

Pink grapefruit pink?
ピンクグレープフルーツ色?


Baby pink 薄いピンク

Red is unusual in my neighborhood
赤い花は珍しい

Purple pink isn't so common, either
濃いピンクも珍しい

 
Bright pink 明るいピンク

Back to white 基本は白かな。。。

White flowers in full bloom 満開の白

Crepe myrtle has two Japanese names, "monkeys slip (saru suberi)" because of its slippery bark, on which even monkeys slip, and "red for 100 days (hyaku jitsu ko)" as crepe myrtle flowers bloom for a long period of time. When I first wrote about this, however, I didn't know how long I can enjoy the flowers in what colors.

Four months have passed since then and things have changed, including the breakout of Covid-19, and through that period, I've been enjoying the cute ball-shaped berries in diameter of 1 cm and flowers in such beautiful colors ranging from white to pale, purple and bright pink and even red!!

3月からずっと百日紅を堪能しています。実はかわいく、花はきれい。先日赤い花を見つけたのでまた書いている次第です🙇

百日紅という名前は「100日も赤い花が続く」ことに由来しているとのこと。ホント、あちこちで花が咲いていて、しかも時期はバラバラ。おかげでこんなに長い間楽しめるんですね。
