This is ipomoea ochracea or a yellow morning glory in my neighborhood. It's surrounded by bright purple flowers, my favorite. I knew that morning glory produces flowers in various colors, but it was my first time to see a yellow one.

It's native to Central America and Mexico, but the flowers are loved so much in Japan that morning glory markets are held in summer in many places across the country.
Interestingly, morning glory is a kigo (i.e., season word) to indicate autumn, used in traditional forms of Japanese poetry, such as haiku. This inconsistency may be because in the traditional Chinese calendar, which was also used in Japan, autumn usually begins around August 7.

黄色のアサガオです。アサガオに色々な色があるのは知っていましたが、黄色を見たのは初めてでした。ちなみにアサガオって夏ではなく秋の季語なんです。知りませんでした。アサガオが一番咲くのは立秋（8月7日ごろ）の後、つまり旧暦では秋なのでこうなったそうです。
