Plumbago Auriculata (Blue Plumbago) 瑠璃茉莉(ルリマツリ)

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

This is plumbago auriculata, or more commonly cape leadwort or blue plumbago. The pale violet flowers are so beautiful!!

It's been very hot and humid in Japan (i.e., typical Japanese summer!), and I don't see almost no flowers naturally growing these days in my neighborhood. I thought that most flowers were dead because of the harsh weather and that I'd run out of photos to post on this blog when I found a garden nearby overflowing with these blue plumbago flowers (see the 2nd photo!). The pale blue flowers and green leaves were so beautiful and refreshing😊

瑠璃茉莉(ルリマツリ)です。薄紫がとてもきれいです。最近蒸し暑いですね。そのせいか花を見かけることがめっきり減りました。久しぶりに見たルリマツリの色、そして歩道にまではみ出るその繁殖力に癒されました!
