Three Types of Weigela 箱根空木、普通の大紅空木、斑入り大紅空木

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

These are three types of weigela in my neighborhood. I saw weigela coraeensis last year, but didn't know about the other two: 
1. Weigela coraeensis

I like this weigela the best because of the glossier color than the other two. Weigela coraeensis changes the color from white to pale pink, then to reddish purple, which is why the flower means "fickleness" in the Japanese floriography.

Green leaves are also beautiful 葉もきれい

2. Weigela florida

Weigela florida also has shades of white and pink, but their shades are matte compared to weigela coraeensis.

3. Weigela florida 'variegata'

As the name indicates, the leaves are variegated.

Leaves are variegated 葉が斑入り



Interestingly, the color of weigela florida and weigela florida 'variegated' also changes from white to pink, but their meaning is not "fickleness," but "rich and beautiful." Why😉?

1. 箱根空木、2. 斑入りじゃない大紅空木、そして 3. 斑入り大紅空木です。箱根空木は去年も見かけたのですが、大紅空木が近所に咲くなんて知りませんでした。

花の色に光沢があるので箱根空木が一番好き。白から淡いピンク、そして濃い紫に変わるので花言葉は「移り気」です。大紅空木も色が変わるのにこちらは「豊かで美しい」。どうして😉?
