Spotted Bellflower (Campanula Punctata) ホタルブクロ(蛍袋)

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

These are spotted bellflowers (Campanula punctata). The flower in the third photo is before opening and those in the first and second photos are after. The plant's name in Japanese is "hotaru bukuro," which translates to "firefly pouch bag" because children used to play with the flowers by putting fireflies into them. A firefly in a spotted bellflower must have been so beautiful although it must have been horrifying for claustrophobic fireflies.

ホタルブクロ(蛍袋)です。3枚目が開花前、1枚目と2枚目が開花後です。昔、子供が蛍を袋のような花に入れて遊んでいたので、この名が付いたそう。とってもきれいだったんでしょうね。閉所恐怖症の蛍にとっては地獄でしょうが。
