Fruitful life (plants on the walking path)

Hebiichigo

A missionary program called ``A fruitful life''、I remember receiving this from an American missionary who once taught me English conversation.。I completely forgot the details, but、For some reason, I only remembered the title.。

There is no "fruit" on my walking course either.、There is a “fruitful path”。Let me introduce some of them.。

“Hebiichigo” is okay.、Unless you are someone who frequently goes hiking etc.、Even if I only know the name、I think there are almost no opportunities to actually see it.。Even on my walking course、1There is only one place。I only noticed it after going into the grass for a while.。
②③ from above are the same、Do you know the name? It's "Crow Pea"。'Cause I'll turn black like a crow、That's how it got its name.。Just 1,2It had beautiful purple flowers a month ago.、I'm amazed at how quickly the seasons change。④⑤ is、Even in the city, there are plenty of them on the roadsides.、"Oat" of the Poaceae family。If you ask me this too...。

All of these can be eaten。But、Not delicious、Just non-toxic。Although I simply said "only"、It is safe to assume that most plants are more or less "poisonous".。plants too、Against feeding damage from insects, etc.、Because we need poison as a measure to protect ourselves.。Plants that are not poisonous (or vulnerable to humans) are called "vegetables"、I was taught this before.。Poaceae in Japan、There are many types and numbers of plants in the legume family.。I think it suits the climate.。

Plants on the promenade

Nagami Hinageshi
Evening makeup (Yugesho)
Shirotsukusa
Small daylight (Kohirugao) growing beside the rice field

The top one is the “Nagami poppy” which has been a hot topic recently.。Elongated fruit can be seen in front of and to the side of the flower.。This is the origin of the name “Nagami”。There are 1600 seeds inside this fruit.、Apparently one individual can bear up to 100 fruits.、Calculate 15、6You will scatter thousands of seeds around you.。Moreover, it contains ingredients that significantly inhibit the growth of surrounding plants.、can easily expand its habitat、and on Wikipedia。

What is being talked about is、If you pull this out with your bare hands、A liquid containing allocaloids comes out from broken leaves and stems.、This is a warning that you may get a rash.。Because it looks like a cute flower、Easy to touch even for children、It also grows in such places。Although it is harmful、It is not designated as a specific alien species.、That's the reason for the neglect。

"Evening makeup"、It's a bit rare though、Before I knew it, there were many blooming in one corner.。It is also native to the Americas、Naturalized plants of the evening primrose family。Meiji period、introduced for ornamental purposes。It's true that if you look closely, it's a cute flower.。It is said that there are not many individuals。It seems that the white-flowered sagebrush is a bit rare.。

Convolvulus and clover are standard.、Of these, the Hirugao is the only native species.。It is said that it was used as a diuretic in ancient times.。Clover was also seen everywhere for a while.、Lately, it has only been seen in relatively limited places.。There must be a tough competition for survival among naturalized plants.。

From top to bottom: ① American foxglove, ② giant dogfish, ③ scampo, ④ (probably) cucurbita, ⑤ halcyon, ⑥ wild birch、Edible) ⑦ Nayokusafuji (hairy vetch)、edible)。There are many others、I can't introduce it all at once.。Sometimes I forget to take a walk and get absorbed in it.。
