茎に棘があり不用意に踏み込むと血だらけになると聞いています。手でしごきましたが、何事も起きませんでした。ところで、この草の命名は、いけませんね。
I've heard that there are spines on the stem and if we step in the bush carelessly, our legs will be covered with blood. I squeezed it by my hand, but nothing happened.

束の間の小宇宙 brief monent of microcosm
廃道のアスファルトにいつの間にか現れた小宇宙。台風19号で洗い流されてしまうでしょうね。
A microcosm that appeared on the asphalt of an abandoned road. But it will be washed away by Typhoon Hagibis.

虫こぶ insect gall
ヌルデに立派に成長した虫こぶができていました。一見すると果実に見えますが、そうではありません。エイッとばかりに踏んづけてみると、抵抗感もなく、ふわっと煙がたちました。中は中空で、アブラムシの存在は確認できませんでした。
自然界には、薄気味悪さはつきものです。自然が好きとは簡単には言えません。
There were full-grown insect galls on Chinese sumac. At first glance it looks like a fruit, but it is not. When I tramped down it quickly, I didn't feel any resistance and it puffed smoke softly. The inside was hollow, and the presence of aphids could not be confirmed.
There are so many weird things in nature. It's not easy to say I like nature.

ツユクサ asiatic dayflower
なぜか郷愁を感じる花です。
もしかすると、子供の頃、道端でよく見かけたからでしょうか。
I feel nostalgic feeing about this flower, without any reason.
Maybe because I often saw it on the roadside when I was a child.

クサギ harlequin glory bower
クサギは染料になると聞きました。どんな色になるのでしょう。
I heard that "harlequin glory bower" become dye. What color will it have?

ツリフネソウ Touch-me-not
普通、ツリフネソウはバランスよく水平に、花茎にぶら下がるのですが、これはちょっと上向きです。英名のTouch-me-notは、触ると種が弾け飛ぶからでしょうか。
Usually, a Touch-me-not hangs horizontally from a flower stem in a balanced manner, but this is slightly upward. Is the origin of the English name Touch-me-not because seeds fly away when we touch?

畔(あぜ)に咲く blooming on the bank
毎年、庭に一輪か二輪の彼岸花がひっそり咲くのですが、今年は咲きませんでした。彼岸花が、個人の庭に群生しているのを、見かけることは、ほとんどありません。田んぼの畔やお墓に咲くのが一般的です。
Every year, one or two cluster amaryllis flowers quietly bloom in my garden, but this year did not bloom. We can hardly see cluster amaryllis growing in colonies in a private garden. It is common to bloom on the banks of rice fields and graves.
