Bletilla Striata (Hyacinth Orchid) 紫蘭(シラン)

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

This is bletilla striata, or commonly hyacinth orchid or Chinese ground orchid in the garden of the Parliamentary Museum in Tokyo and in my neighborhood. The pinkish purple against the green leaves is so beautiful.

No matter where they are, Chinese ground orchids are so conspicuous that nobody would overlook them. In the Parliamentary Museum, you can learn how the parliamentary system in Japan has developed from pictures of, and letters by, Japanese politicians and enjoy such flowers as azalea, cherry, dogwood, and these orchids. Admission charge is free. It's definitely my recommendation.

憲政記念館と近所の紫蘭です。紫蘭の明るいピンク紫はどこに咲いていても目立ちます。

憲政記念館では日本の議会政治の発展を学べるだけでなく、いろいろな花も楽しめます(桜、ツツジ、花水木、そして紫蘭等)。入場無料。お勧めです!
