Yumiko（California U.S.A） Good mornevening, Yuming ! 🌅🌃 So Yuming looked up portulaca at the library, right ?🧐 I also looked into it as follows:🤔😄👌 Portulaca (moss rose) is a classic annual for summer gardens, known for being extremely resistant to heat and drought. From May to October, it produces a steady stream of vibrant flowers in colors like yellow, pink, and red, spreading across the ground like a carpet.🤗 What are your thoughts on this?🌞✌️🙆♀️or🙅♀️ Hoitara-ne.👋👋👋

@太陽の塔 Good morning! That’s right~. One of my club members suggested me to go to the city library and study about the flowers. 👍 The library is very close to my house. It takes for 5 minutes by car. Now~ it will be my new schedule ~ Swimming, fast walk and slow waking to see flowers. Next day, going to the library 📚 and studying of the flowers. I am happy to go for this new itinerary. I can lots of books about flowers at the library. It’s very interesting. It’s very quiet. 😁I have my favorite music 🎶 with Bluetooth. Enjoyable How is your day? You visited ~enjoyed! Good day together! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your suggestion !😄 Actually, I also go to the library once a week.☝️🤗💦 I'm going to borrow a travel book, look at some gardening books「 趣味の園芸」to answer a survey, and then take my time reading a science book.🌏🌕 I'm planning a trip to France this July, so I've been borrowing and reading a lot of books about it.🌞✌️🏝️ Hoitara-ne. 👋👋👋
