Hello ☺️✨ Trachelosporum japonica🤍"Trachelosporum japonica is poisonous, and if you touch the white sap, you may get a skin rash. Also, if you ingest it, it may cause symptoms such as vomiting and paralysis, so you should be careful not to eat it. In particular, it has a jasmine-like scent, so you should be careful not to ingest it by mistake. " is what I found from Google Sensei. It's blooming so beautifully that if you touch it, you might get a rash on your hands, so be careful🐰💗
@ダリア Thank you for a message. While I was trimming in my garden, these ladies are blooming so nicely. This is the first photo of this lady on GS. We will have a nice day together! It’s getting hot. Take care! with smile 😊
@ユミ Thank you for a message. I took pictures of this lady while I was trimming in my garden. Lots of ‘Star jasmine’ show nicely and smells good. Let’s have a nice day together! with smile 😊
Yumiko(California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Good mornevening ! 🌅🌉 'Star jasmine' is a pretty white flower with pinwheel-shaped petals.🌬️🎏🌼👌 'Teika-Kazura(定家葛)' ,which is in the same family as 'Star jasmine', has white flowers and a jasmine-like scent, and the two flowers are very similar. 😊😄🤗 I posted the photo of 'Teika-Kazura(定家葛)' flowers to GS on March 4th of this year.📱 I took the photo of the flowers at the Kobe Municipal Arboretum in Rokko on June 7th of last year. ⛰️📸🌼🌿 'Star jasmine' is similar to 'Teika-Kazura', but both flowers differ in leaf size, flower color, fragrance strength, cold resistance, etc.🌿🌼👃🥶🙅♀️🤔 Yumi, have a nice weekend ! 🏊♀️🏃♀️🏌️♀️⛳️✌️ Oni-chan am sleepy.😴💤 So long. 👋🌌
@フジセツ Thank you for message. Yes. This lady came from garden. While I was trimming my roses ~(hard work), I saw these ladies ~ I am happy to post her. Let’s have a good day together! with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your kind cooperation ! 🙇😄👌 I know Yumi mean.🤭 I'm sorry for the trouble you had finding my photo.🙇😭 But I often post about the next flower "Duranta", so the flower should be easy to find. 🧐 I'm sorry for your inconvenience but thank Yumi for your cooperation. 🙏🤗 Do you know "Takarazuka Duranta" ?💜💜🌿 I am a Takazuka fan, because Oni-chan lived in Takarazuka (宝塚). 👩👔👨 Can I move on to the next flower "Duranta" 💜? I hope Yumi say " Ii-tomo! (Good!) " Let's have a nice weekend ! 🏊♀️🏃♀️🏌️🌞✌️ In Japan, this weekend was a three-day weekend. 🤭😄 Next Monday is 'Marine Day' in Japan.🇯🇵🌊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. lovely I like “Takarazuka”. Being with my age, I liked Otori-ran(1946~), and …sorry I can’t figure out now by internet. Anyway, we will have a good day. You go~ somewhere ~ you are so active! respect 🫡 It’s getting hot. Take care of yourself. Have a great day! with always smiling 🙂
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi for your quick reply.😄👌 The purple color of the Violet(Sumire) is the color of the Takarazuka Revue.🏤💜 So It's called "Violet Code (Sumire Code)". The motto is "Pure, correct and beautiful !". That's wonderful !🌞✌️
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. How is your project of ‘Kansai Expo’? It will have almost finished of your trip to go?! You had a great one to show pictures on GS.👏 We will have a nice day! with smile 😊 😊
@太陽の塔 👍Yes. I am looking forward to seeing your photos. Take care of yourself/ with water~. After you finishes, you will have a cold draft beer 🍺 See U 👋
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Yes, I will do. 👌 Of the 3 themes, ①the fireworks 🎇 ②the Nepal Pavilion🇳🇵 ③Oni-chan figure 25 years later👨 Which one impressed Yumi the most ? 🤔 Hoitara-ne. 🌞✌️
@太陽の塔 😃’hoitara-me’…what is that meaning? Ok, after 25 years later, you will be 100 years old, aren’t you?! (Guessing)☺️ We are together on GS. I will be with you. with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ I'm sorry for using Kochi dialect. 🙇 "Hoitara-ne." is 「ほいたらね」 In other expressions, it is as follows. 「そしたらね」 「それでは」 「またね」 「さようなら」👋 In English it is "So long."🤔 Ok ? This expressions will be the last said in this morning drama.🌞✌️ " Hoitara-ne."
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. Hoitarane~ “see you” Nice vocabulary from Osaka. In Tokyo, we call “Ja~ne”Mata(aitai desu ne). 👍 We can talk about this. Let’s have a good day together! with our smiles 😊😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ That's right. 👌 "Hoitara-ne" appears every day as the final word in the morning drama "An-pan". This phrase is equivalent to "see you later" or "to be continued". 🤔😊 The main character is not from Osaka but from Tosa (present - day Kochi Prefecture).😄🥯 In English, depending on the situation, you can express "Hoitara-ne" as follows "See you later", "Bye for now", "See you then".🌞✌️ Have a nice weekend, Yumi ! 🏊♀️🏃♀️💨💦 Hoitara-ne ! 🤭🤗🥰👩
@太陽の塔 Thank you , bro! 😁 I am happy to talk with you. Main thing , we are healthy. I have not told you/ maybe I had told you… in May/15~ my pulse came up 165/minutes. I was almost going to #911/emergency call. … I was 👌 after that. I saw my doctor, he said ‘temporary hart beating’ ok👍 Let’s go for a our day together! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi, my dear sister ! I check my blood pressure and pulse every morning.🌅😪 Interestingly, blood pressure and pulse rate are inversely proportional.🤔 My blood pressure is high, the opposite of Yumi's. So my pulse rate is not high.😊👌 When Yumi find yourself in an unusual situation, stay carm and take a deep breath.👃🌬️ Let's both try not to eat too spisy foods and keep an open mind ! 🙅♀️🌯🥘🙆♀️🧘♀️🧘♂️💦 Have a nice day ! 🏊♀️🏃♀️🏌️♀️ Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
@太陽の塔 Good morning! I have my Blood pressure measuring device at home. 😁I am 👌. 107/68. 66(plus) my blood pressure is usually like this. You say yours is high? How much~ over 130~90~ it’s high. Ask your doctor to get a prescription. You will be ok the rest of your life. I have taken such a medication for 25 years. It helps in 🇺🇸 We are in the seniors 🚪. Take care of ourselves, 😊 with smile
