ふと気づくと真っ赤なお花が咲いていました。ダリアみたいです。すごく背が低いですが、蕾がいくつも出来ているのでこれから咲くのが楽しみ。

I just noticed a new red flower was blooming in our garden!  My husband looked it up on the flower application on his phone and it says Dhalia.  It’s very short but I can see a few buds so I’m looking forward to seeing them coming out.

 

 

お友達ご夫婦にいただいたジャパニーズアネモネも綺麗に咲いています。地植えにした方が良いのかな？

The Japanese anemone that our friends gave us are looking lovely.  I wonder if we should plant it in the ground.

 

 

フューシャもますます元気です。

The fuchsias are doing well, too.

 

 

 

ここのお庭、何箇所かに１株ずつ違うお花（薔薇は赤いのとピンクのと遠く離れた所に１株ずつ、ピオニー、ハニーサックル、ダリア）、１株だけだと見栄えしないのでどうせならどうして３株くらいまとめて植えられなかったのかと不思議に思っていたのですが、想像ですが、きっとお友達やご家族からプレゼントにいただいたのを植えられたのかもと思います。イギリスではポット入りのお花をプレゼントすることが多いので。

We noticed that the previous owner of the house planted a plant of different flowers here and there in the garden far from each other and it’s almost always just one plant and I was wondering why they wouldn’t have planted a few together because they don’t look so impressive when the plant is small and have one or two flowers at one point here and there, but I’m now guessing that they were probably given a pot of each from some friends or families because a pot of flowers make a nice present and people do give them to each other often here.
