Burning Bush (Euonymus Alatus) ニシキギ(錦木)

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

The burning bush (Euonymus alatus) is native to China, Korea, and Japan and can be found across Japan. The burning bush autumn leaves are very beautiful but because the bush grows to only 1 to 1.5 meter high, the beauty is often disregarded among maple and other taller trees. But the beauty of the burning bush is not just it. If you are closer to it, you can find small red arils with one to four vivid orange seeds inside. 

As the plant's name suggests, its leaves look "burning." The burning bush is named "nishiki gi" in Japanese, which translates into "brocade tree," after such a beautiful red color of the leaves like brocade. 

In May and June, you can also enjoy its tiny but beautiful yellowish green flowers (scroll down).

真赤な紅葉、ニシキギ(錦木)です。紅葉が錦のように美しいからニシキギ。そして英語名は burning bush(燃える藪)。いや本当に燃えるような赤です。でもニシキギは紅葉だけではないんです。真っ赤な仮種皮に包まれたオレンジ色の種も小さいけど燃える紅葉に負けないぐらい美しい(カワイイ!)です。

5月から6月にはクリーム色のちっちゃい花を付けます。こちらもお見逃しなく♪
