Curly Dock (Rumex Crispus) ナガバギシギシ (長葉羊蹄)

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

These are curly dock (Rumex crispus). Curly dock is native to Europe but is now seen everywhere across Japan. From a distance (11th photo), they're just green leaves but when looked closely, they show tiny but beautiful cream flowers and also tiny fruits, which are cream at first but turn red. The name is interestingly "nagaba gishi gishi," which translates to "long leaf gishi gishi," after the sound produced when the stems are rubbed (which I don't know is true).

ナガバギシギシ(長葉羊蹄)です。ヨーロッパ原産で、花はクリーム色、実も最初はクリーム色ですが次第に赤くなります。ギシギシの名前の由来は茎をこすり合わせると「ギシギシ」という音がするとのこと。ホントかな。。。
