今日のお題はサツキです。

４月に咲くのは”ツツジ”だという話もある。

私的には、小ぶりで地味な花を咲かせるのが「ツツジ」、大柄で派手な花を咲かせるのが「サツキ」です。

まぁ、どちらもツツジ科の花なので同じ。

花の根元に日が差している個体を選び、長い蕊の根本をクローズアップした一枚。

Today's subject is satsuki (azalea).

Some people say that azaleas bloom in April.

In my opinion, "azalea" has small and plain flowers, while "satsuki" has large and showy flowers.

Well, they are the same because they both belong to the azalea family.

I selected an individual with the sun shining at the base of the flower and took a close-up of the root of the long stamen.
