Color! Color! Color! - Koishikawa Botanical Garden 小石川植物園 - 色、色、色！

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

I went to Koishikawa Botanical Garden in Tokyo and found these color contrasts!

Amethyst deceiver ウラムラサキ

Excoecaria - green and red セイシボク

Excoecaria - Can you see the red on the back? 赤が透けて見えますか？

Excoecaria - Can you see the green on the front side? 表側の緑見えますか？ 

Green leaves, red fruits and shadows 緑の葉と赤い実

Japanese maple leaves turning red 赤く色づくイロハモミジ

Yellow ginkgo leaves with green leaves 黄と緑

Ginkgo leaves turning yellow 黄色に色づくイチョウ

Yellow and brown leaves 黄と茶

In Japan, people say, "We're going to hunt autumn leaves" when going somewhere to enjoy multi-colored fall leaves. They also say "strawberry hunting " and "apple hunting" when going somewhere to harvest these fruits. 

I'm not that interested in any type of hunting, but the garden, which is in the central Tokyo, is very wild and natural. It's definitely worth visiting if you have a chance to come to Japan after Covid-19!😊 Oh, just one thing to note. Maybe you should wear a pair of shoes that can get dirty!

小石川植物園に行ってきました。２３区内？と思うほど広くて野生が残っています。そのつもりはなかったのですが結局紅葉狩りとなりました😊

茶、緑、赤、黄の葉が青空に映えて癒されました。次行くときは汚れてもいい靴を履いていこうと思います！
