オニユリの葉の付け根に黒いムカゴが沢山生っています。昔は、このムカゴを食用にしたそうですが、色が濃いからあるいは、花の名前が恐いからか、食べる気にはなりません。
A lot of black aerial tubers grew at the root of leaves of tiger lilies. I heard that the people of former days ate these aerial tubers. However I don't feel like eating it, probably because of the color or the beast flower name.

耐踏み抜き性 penetration resistance of the sole
何の抵抗感もなく、砂利の中に立っていた釘が、サンダルを突き抜け足に突き刺さりました。安価で軽便なプラスチックサンダルに潜む危険を思い知りました。
I didn't feel any resistance, but the nail which stood in gravel went through a shoe sole and stuck in my foot. I learned that the convenient cheap plastic sandals have the pitfall.

エイジング aging
蒸留酒であるウイスキーは、樽の中で長期に保存されると、熟成が進みまろやかになりますが、瓶詰めされると熟成は止まるそうです。
一方、醸造酒のワインの中には、瓶詰めして寝かせると、熟成が進む銘柄があります。同じ醸造酒の日本酒は、瓶詰めすると劣化が始まります。
色々なお酒があることは、興味深いです。
なお、日本酒は、なるべく製造年月日の新しいものを求たほうが良いようです。
While the whiskey of the distilled liquor is stored in a barrel for a long term, the aging advances, and it becomes mellow, but it is said that the aging stops when it is bottled.
On the other hand, about the fermented liquor, there are some brands of wines that advance the aging after those are packed in a bottle.
Once bottled, sake of fermented liquor same as wine starts degradation.
It is interesting that there is various liquor.
By the way, when we buy sake, it is better to buy new product of manufacture date.

トンボに逃げられても、暫くその場所で待っていると、また同じに場所に戻ってきます。
自分の縄張りを監視する場所が決まっているのでしょう。
Even if a dragonfly escaped, if I am waiting calmly for a while at that place, the dragonfly returns to the same place again.
The places to watch its territory may have been fixed.

アガパンサスは茎が長いので、風に揺れる姿は優雅ですが、写真には撮りづらいです。
An agapanthus has a long stem, so the figure swaying in the breeze is elegant, but it is hard to take photograph.

アジサイに毒 poison of a hydrangea
品種にもよりますが、アジサイには毒をもつものもあるそうです。アジサイそのものを食べる人はいないと思いますが、アジサイに添えられた物は食べないようにしましょう。また、ペットが食べることがないよう気をつける必要もあるようです。
It depends on a kind, but some hydrangea seems to have poison. I think that there is none of people who eats a hydrangea directly, but it is better not to eat the food served on a leaf of a hydrangea. In addition, it is necessary to be careful so that your pet does not eat it.

ジュノー Juno
NASAの木星探査機であるJunoが、地球スイングバイ方式での加速により、木星軌道に乗ったことだけでも驚きですが、木星の軌道上を周回しながら観測を続けており、予想外のことがいろいろ分かってきたことは驚嘆に値します。
役目を終えたジュノーは、10月に木星に突入します。観測データの解析は来年になりますが、結果が楽しみです。
I was amazed to see that Juno which is Jupiter space probe of NASA got on the orbit of the Jupiter by the earth swing-by method (gravity assist speed boost from Earth). Furthermore Juno has been going around orbit of Jupiter and continues observing the planet. And it deserves praise that Juno discovers many things which we do not imagine.
Juno finished duty in October and is to fall into the Jupiter. The analysis of observation data continues until the next year, but I am looking forward to the result.

ハブランサス pink rain lily
この花を見た時に、最初はサフランモドキかと思いましたが、横を向いて咲いているのでハブランサスでしょう。サフランモドキは、上を向いて咲きます。咲く向きによって、花を見分けることは興味深いです。
When I looked at this flower, I thought that this flower was a Zephyranthes carinata, but I concluded this flower was a pink rain lily, because this flower bloomed horizontally. The Zephyranthes carinata blooms upward. It is interesting to distinguish the kind of flower by the direction where the flower blooms.

花の形がツバキと似ているので、夏ツバキと呼ばれますが、どちらかと言うとサザンカに似ているように思います。
This tree is called a summer camellia, because the form of the flower resembles a flower of a camellia, but I think that the flower rather resembles a sasanqua.

長い茎が風に揺れると、白い蝶が飛んでいるいるように見えることから、白蝶草とも呼ばれます。園芸品種として作られた、ピンクや赤色の花もあります。
When a long stem gently swings for wind, the flower looks like butterfly flying. So it is called the white butterfly grass.
Pink flowers and red flowers have been made as a cultivated variety.
