Yumiko（California U.S.A.）SAMA✨ Good mornevening, Yuming !😊😄🌞✌️ The genus Delphinium belongs to the family Ranunculaceae. 🤔 Its scientific name comes from the Greek word delphis🐬💦, meaning "dolphin," because the flower buds are shaped like dolphins.🤗👌 By the way, today, May 2nd, is "Hachiju-hachiya.(八十八夜)". It is the 88th day starting from Risshun(立春) (the first day of spring).🌿 🎶 Summer is coming, Hachiju Hachiya〜🎶 （夏も近づく 八十八夜〜） The green tea🍵 harvesting season is here.😋😆✌️ Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
@ユミ Good morning! Thank you for a message. ‘Shirako’…to have a delicious onions! I understand. Backing to 1970s, after we played golf, we wanted to go to the farmers to get ‘Momotaro Tomatoes 🍅’. We stopped by at farm and got one box. It was such a great one. At this time ~ I still remembered. Fresh one! Enjoyable 😋 Have a good day! 😊

Good evening ☺️✨ What refreshing colors these flowers are! Delphiniums 🩵💙 are blooming beautifully. Last year, I grew some from seed in my flowerbed, and they were pink and blue. I'd be so happy if they bloomed again this year from the spilled seeds. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message !😄 Today(5/3), it's Constitution Memorial Day in Japan.🇯🇵😊👌 This national holiday🎌commemorates the enforcement of the Constitution of Japan🇯🇵, which took place on May 3, 1947, following its promulgation on November 3, 1946.🤗🌞✌️💦 America's Independence Day is on July 4th every year, isn't it?🇺🇸🤔👌 Hoitara-ne.👋👋👋

@太陽の塔 Thank you for a good info. I can feel I am Japanese in In Japan. You know~ I have living in 🇺🇸 for 35 years.(I left Japan in 1991). I will still be here the rest of life. I still have a (kokumin kenkou hoken) in Japan. I have paying ~ for 35 years. Once, I had a cold when I was staying in Tokyo. I just went to see my main Doctors(father&son)for 50~ years. The Doctor Father died and the son took his clinic. Last time(2019)I went to see him for my body check and I needed my favorite prescription. He did always great. I asked him, “ thank you always, how old are you?” He said “I am 65 years old”. I said “5 years elder to me”. 🤗 ~ He was nice looking as usual. I told him “see you next time when I come back to Tokyo”. It was the last sentence to him. He died after that. I was so sad 😞. I lost my main Doctor in Japan. Sorry it’s long talk. Our life, our doctors are important to be ~. Just pay insurance nice. Life> doctors > insurance ~ = life We will have a nice day together! 😊
