The behavior of the bears that have come down to the village all over the country is bothering people.
The pink that was posted is cute Tachi Aoi
When I looked it up, it was brought from Asia to Europe on a Crusade expedition, and it's a plant with a history. Here, I often see Tachi Aoi who is very tall. It's going around from Asia and blooming there as well. 良い一日になりますように。
Good morning.☺️✨ 'Alcea rosea' is commonly known as hollyhock. It's a tall flower. It's a pretty pink flower. I saw it before when I was out and about, around the time the hydrangeas were blooming. I remembered. Thank you for showing me such beautiful flowers. 🐰💗
Yumiko！😊 It’s amazing to think that this flower was cultivated in ancient China about 2,000 years ago and later spread to Europe. Even with such a long history, it still blooms beautifully today, and its timeless charm always attracts me. I truly love this flower as well. Thank you, Yumiko!😊
