Ginkgo or Passion Flower - That's the Question イチョウの花、トケイソウの花

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

What's this? A ginkgo flower? To me, it looks like a passiflora caerulea or common passion flower...

It's among ginkgo leaves イチョウの葉の間に発見

The only flower.... これ一つ｡｡｡

Ginkgo tree and fruit 銀杏の実

I couldn't first believe my eyes. It was like a passion flower or "clock flower" in Japanese. I googled to find out what this flower was, but only found that ginkgo flowers, male or female, did not look like this at all.

Ginkgo always reminds me of a former coworker, an American very popular among women. On that day, we came back to the office from a client, finding ginkgo trees with leaves turned into beautiful golden yellow but with no nuts and therefore which didn't stink. This means that all these trees were male. When I said that, he was so amazed, so I went on to ask, "Would you be sad if you had no women around you?" I knew that he thought he was attractive, and I do not like such men.....😁

Raw ginkgo nuts stink, but are delicious once roasted and of course go well with beer, highball, wine and sake😆 Autumn has come with many seasonal foods!!

近所で見かけました。何の花に見えますか。私には時計草にしか見えません。でもこれはイチョウの木｡｡｡ 家でググったのですが結局分かりませんでした｡｡｡

イチョウといえば臭い｡｡｡ 昔、同僚とオフィスに戻った時のことです。会社の近くにイチョウ並木があり黄金色の花がとてもきれい。全く臭くなかったので何気に「ギンナンがないってことはこの辺の木は全部オスなんですね」と言ったらえらく感動されたので、さらに「メスがいないと寂しいでしょうね」と言ったらどぎまぎしてました。自分はイケテルという自覚が非常に強い方でした😁

秋です。食欲の秋です。ギンナンでチクッといきたいです😆
