Good morning 😉✨ Calendula 🧡💛 The petals are shiny and sparkle beautifully. They're commonly known as pot marigolds. It's named after the Virgin Mary, "Mary's Gold." Thank you for showing us your beautiful flowers. 🐰💗
@ころくん Good morning! Thank you for a message. You are a great skier ⛷️! I used to be a good skier in 1970s. *Ski test/ I had second grade(nikyu)in 1974. at Akakura & Happo. The last time I went skiing ~ 1980~ at Naeba. I felt my age. 💕. My knees were (warau). 😆 I hope you enjoy skiing ⛷️! lovely It’s still cold. Keep yourself warm. Let’s have a good day! with smile 😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Good morning! Thank you for a message. I saw this lady while I was walking. She was blooming just ☝️ beside the road. I was with her for a while. Nice day together
@ゆうさん Good morning! Thank you for a message. Here in California, we have no snow. (yuki ga arimasen). Spring will come soon. 💕 Have a nice day! with smile 😊
Yumiko（California U.S.A）SAMA✨ Good mornevening, Yuming. 🌅🌃 The pot marigold in your photo is a very bright orange color. 🧡🌿 It's wonderful ! 🤗😄 Pot marigold is called "Kinsenka" in Japanese🇯🇵, but the shape of the flowers seems to be a little different.🧐🔍😊 I posted a photo of "Kinsenka" on GreenSnap on January 17th.🧡🌿📱 By the way, it has been just 31 years since the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake struck Japan🇯🇵 on January 17th.🫨 I lived in Takarazuka, Hyogo, 31 years ago when the earthquake happened.🌞🚃⛰️💜🏤 Hoitara-ne. 👋👋👋
Good evening ☺️✨ I came across some adorable flowers while out for a walk 🚶🏻. Today, a friend invited me to a flower shop. "It's a little early, but," she said, and I received some flowers 🎁. Afterwards, we had lunch together, which was also a delicious treat. 🐰💗
@太陽の塔 Good morning! Thank you for a message. Yes. I still remember of “Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake”. I loved to visit Kobe(golf & shopping). …I visited to the shopping arcade. There were very nice boutiques. …I forgot the name of the place… …’Sannomiya’?! Long time ago(1980s). The big earthquake hit there in 1995. Time passes so fast 💨! We hope there will have no more disasters by earthquake.
How are you? You have been healthy. lovely Me, too. Keep going together! 💪with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your story of Kobe.🙇🤗 Please see the answer for the name of the place below.👎 The Kobe Sannomiya Center Gai （神戸三宮センター街）is a covered shopping arcade stretching from Flower Road to Koikawa-suji, featuring numerous fashion（nice boutique👗）, zakka (miscellaneous goods), and dining stores across blocks 1 to 3. Its fully enclosed, high-ceilinged roof ensures a comfortable, rain-free shopping experience. 😄🌞✌️ Ok? 👌 Hoitara-ne.👋👋💝🍫😘
Hello ☺️✨ Yesterday, I went around looking at flowers with a friend, and there were a lot of different varieties. It looks like there will be more flowers I want as spring approaches. My friend gave me a flower gift 🎁, and I had lunch at the buffet, eating a little bit of each of the different varieties. The restaurant had a wide variety of vegetables, which was good for my body. My friend treated me to a feast, and I had a fun day. 🐰💗
@太陽の塔 Good morning! ☀️ Thank you for a message. Probably the first one. I had a nice time for shopping. …Sanchica Town…lovely. Very common shopping place. I had a nice time when I was 26 years old. I had nice memories in Osaka~. …to be continued ~ 🤫later
How are you? I feel you are healthy. #1 thing! Have a good day. 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your story of Santica Town.😄👌 Since its opening in 1965, the area was affectionately known as "Santica Town." However, in 1985, it was officially renamed to its current name "Santica," which was originally its abbreviation. 🤔😊 It is divided into nine sections, consisting of Santi-Gai 1 through 10 (excluding some numbers) and "Aji-no-Noren-gai," a dedicated restaurant district.🍣🍜🍶😋🤗 Hoitara-next. 🌞✌️
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ 【p.s】In 1985, when Yuming and Oni-chang were 26 👨💼👩💼, Santica Town changed its name to Santica.😄👌 So the name you have saied was just appropriate for the time.🌞✌️🍫💝😋
Dear Yumiko How do you do.I am a old man that I love flowers. Thank you for a message of "いいね！" every time. Your photos of flowers are elegant and beautiful. I will yours with smile on GS.
