Early amethyst (Callicarpa dichotoma) has started to fruit. The fruits are still green but will turn purple shortly as its Japanese name "Komurasaki" suggests. The name "Komurasaki" means "small Murasaki Shikibu or Lady Purple." Lady Purple is a Japanese novelist, poet and court lady at the Imperial court in the Heian period (794 to 118), known as the author of The Tale of Genji, which is often described as the world's oldest long novel.

小紫（コムラサキ）が実を付け始めました。ついこの前まで花をつけていたと思っていたらもう実が。まだ緑ですが、紫に色づくのが楽しみです。
