The long stamen looks like the whiskers of a cat. It is perennial plant, but it seems to be difficult to pass the winter in Japan because this grass is sensitive to cold.

ネコノヒゲ cat's whiskers
長く伸びたしべが、ネコのヒゲに似ています。多年草ですが、寒さに弱いので日本で越冬するのは難しいようです。

元号 Japanese traditional era name
天皇陛下が在位30年を節目として譲位を希望されました。その故に2019年1月1日に皇太子が天皇になり、同日から新元号になります。
天皇陛下が変わる度に、リセットされる年号表示は何かと不便です。
His Majesty the Emperor considered the 30 years of his reign as a turning point and hoped for abdication. Therefore, Crown Prince becomes the Emperor on January 1, 2019, and the new name of an era is used from the same day.
When His Majesty the Emperor changes, the name of era is changed and the consecutive number is also reset. That is inconvenient in various ways.

そろそろ、ネムノキに花が咲いたかと思い出かけましたがまだ蕾でした。
I thought whether the flowers of the silk tree have bloomed and went out to see the tree, but it was still buds.

ベニシジミ small copper
開けた草むらでよく見かける小ぶりの蝶です。逃げないようにそっと近づきました。
印象は、視点によって大いに変化します。
We often see this small-sized butterfly at a clear grass field. I approached it slowly and calmly so that it might not fly away.
An impression greatly varies according to a viewpoint.

ペチュニア petunia
普段、ペチュニアと呼んでいるので、和名がツクバネアサガオということは知りませんでした。。名前の通り、花はアサガオに似ています。ペチュニアもアサガオも、分類学上では、ナス目です。
We usually call it a petunia, so I didn't know that the Japanese name is "tukubane-asagao". According as the name, this flower resembles a morning glory. A petunia and the morning glories are classified in same 'order' on the taxonomy.
The English word for "asagao" is "morning glory."
