Good morning. Beautiful flowers and leaves with a leather texture. It's the rainy season in Japan. I will do my best slowly and little by little. Have a good day today.,
Good mornevening, Yuming ! 🌅🌃 Oh, isn't that a Southern Magnolia(大山木: タイサンボク) ? 😳😄👌 Oni-chang didn't know these flowers bloomed in California too.🌴🤔 The large white flowers bloom like big cups.🏆 The petals open up wide, resembling a giant wine glass ！🌼🍷 The word "What's your cup size ?" is off-limits.🙅♀️🙇 I posted a photo of a Southern Magnolia to GS on May 29th. 📸🌼🌿 I know you are busy, so please don't feel obligated to reply.😊🤗 Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
@チャツネ Good morning! Thank you for a message. Yes. I can see this tree in the the parking lot at my Fitness Club. Every year~ passes so fast. It’s a big tree. They say it smells nice, but I can’t smell the flowers because the flowers are blooming high. We see yearly flowers and enjoy. Have a good day! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 Good morning! Thank you for a message. I saw your photo. Nice one! …you know…I have some nervous stomachache now~. I will take a rest for a while. I will talk to G.S friends later. 😞(thinking of my mother in Tokyo). (Shikatanashi)
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ That's tough.😢 Oni-chang understand that Yuming will be taking a break from GS for a while.😴💤👌 I think you're troubled by something regarding your mother. It's impossible for you to stop thinking about your mother.🙅♀️ It stresses you out when there's a gap between what you think you should do and the reality.🤔 It is important to eliminate the gap by accepting that 'this is how it should be.'🌞✌️ Hoitara-odaiji-ni.👌👍
Hello.😉✨ These flowers are Magnolia grandiflora (Southern Magnolia), and their fluffy, pure white blossoms are blooming beautifully. I saw them up close when I visited the Kyoto Prefectural Botanical Garden, and the leaves were glossy and the flowers were magnificent. Thank you for showing me these lovely flowers. 🐰💗
@ラスカル Good morning! Thank you for a message. It’s rainy season in Japan. We have dry season till October. We will take care of ourselves. Let’s go! Today and tomorrow 😊
@草 Good morning! Thank you for a message. “Ii nioi shiteruka na~”. Yes. It is. We can’t smell it because the flowers are high up in the tree. We will have a nice day! with smile 😊
@ゆきばー Good morning! Thank you for a message. Yes. It’s around the tree~ but I couldn’t smell. The flowers are blooming at high place. 😊good day together!
@アキラ Good morning! Thank you for a message. That’s right. It’s difficult to focus this flower because it is blooming at high up in the tree. “Jakaranda”…I probably can’t see here at my place. We can see them at Los Angeles and Orange Counties. It’s rainy season at your place?! Take care of yourself. Have a nice day! with smile 😊
@はなやさん Good morning! Thank you for a message. I saw this this flower at the parking lot beside my fitness club. I know~ every year ~ but they show different every year. It’s the nature. We will have a good day! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. Anyway…stress. Our life~ I will be still ok. Right now/ I am listening “Yashiro Aki” san/Koiuta. I started to sing 🎶 at karaoke 🎤 in 1970s. This one was the probably the best one ☝️ in those days. (I was only 20 years old girl in Roppongi). See~ today I have no stomachache, now. I was having a dream and I woke up with stomachache. 😞 My mother wants to see me. But I can’t. My son will take of his grandfather. ~~~ you know~ Life is such a kind. I hope you will have a good day! Have a great day! I will talk to you tomorrow! 😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. I see this tree beside the entrance door of the hospital./close to my fitness club Every year ~ enjoyable. We will have a good day together! with smile 😊
Good morning ☺️ I hadn't noticed until now, but my neighbor has planted this tree, a Southern Magnolia, and when I took a quick look, it didn't seem to be in bloom yet. It's not a very sunny spot, so I've never seen it in bloom 🦆 It's wonderful that it's planted near the fitness club Yumi goes to. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message.🤗 I'm glad to hear that your stomachache is gone.😣→😄🙆♀️✨ It's important to think, "Whatever happens, happens."🤔👌 Listening to music might be a good idea.😊 Watching your favorite sports is a good idea too!😄✌️ Hoitara-ne. 🌞✌️
