This is chimonanthus praecox or more commonly wintersweet I found yesterday in my neighborhood. I'd seen the flower at Ueno Peony Garden in Tokyo early January, but I didn't know this was also in my neighborhood. What a nice surprise😊!!

But it means that I've been walking almost everyday for nearly a year on a street with several wintersweet trees planted without noticing it...
Wintersweet is called "wax plum/apricot" because the petals look to be made of wax. I love this yellow, which is not that bright but opaque.
Woops! I forgot to do something very important, i.e., smell the flower😂! Wintersweet is known for its sweet scent. If you find one, don't miss the chance!!

全然知りませんでした。近所に蝋梅が植えられていたなんて。毎日通っていたのに｡｡｡ 1月頭に上野牡丹園で見たのですが近所でも咲いてたなんて！
名前通り確かに蝋っぽい黄色ですよね。あっ！匂い嗅ぐのまた忘れてました。やんなっちゃう😂
