Russian Snowdrop

家の中からお庭の水仙が咲いている辺りを見ていたら、小さな白っぽいものが見えたので双眼鏡で見てみると、とっても小さなお花のようだったので、夫に「スノードロップかも?」と言ったら夫が見に行って写真を撮ってくれました。淡いブルーにブルーのストライプがある、やはりスノードロップの1種、ロシアスノードロップ、でした!可愛い!初めて見たお花です。スノードロップというより、ちょっとヒヤシンスっぽいお花のつき方。もっとたくさん出てくると良いな〜。

I was looking out our garden where several little narisuses are blooming and saw a little spot of white, so looked through our binoculars and it did look it could be a snowdrop but also looked like a cluster of flowers rather than a usual snowdrop.  I told my husband that it might be a snowdrop and he went over to the spot and took a photo to check what it was on a phone application – he found out it is a Russian snowdrop!  I’d never seen it before.  It has a cluster of very pale flowers with blue stripes, it looks more like a little hyacinth.  Very sweet!  I hope many more will come out soon.

スノードロップはとっくに咲ききっているはずの時期だと思うのですが、植えるのが遅かったせいなのか、それとも遅咲きの種類なのか。

I thought snowdrop season had finished, maybe because we planted them late but maybe these are the type that come out later.

春の球根は夫がオーダーして夫が植えてくれたので、わたしはどんなお花が咲くのか全然知らないのです。っていうか、夫も何をオーダーしたか覚えていないので何が出てくるか知らないようなので(笑)、何が出てくるかお楽しみ!

My husband ordered and planted all the spring bulps so I don’t know what will come out.  Well, my husband doesn’t seem to know what will come out either as he’d forgotten what he ordered and planted.  They are going to be all surprises.
