Having overcome the cold weather, Tategamori has become a little warmer.
I took a walk in the ranch in search of spring.

Speaking of flowers and trees that bloom first in the farm in early spring...

"witch hazel(Mitsusaku)”is.

A deciduous shrub of the witch hazel family, characterized by lightly twisted thread-like petals.
Several bloom in one place.
The flowers emit a strong scent that floats far and blooms from January to March.
The witch hazel flower is yellow, but there is also a rare red color in the ranch.

If it is warm, it will bloom from December and brighten up the cold winter scenery.
However, this season is a cold wave from the end of the year,

I still feel like this.
Have the buds finally opened?
After all, it seems to be cold (-_-;)

This time, to the Sansuyu forest...
here,"Sansuyu(Yamasuyu)”are abundantly planted.

It looks cold. No, it's cold.

But here in March it shines golden.

Japanese Sansuyu
It is a deciduous small tree of the Cornaceae family and blooms a lot of small yellow flowers in early spring.
In autumn, the leaves turn red, and you can enjoy the red berries that can be used as herbal medicines.

The golden color shines in the blue sky, and there is no doubt that it is a superb view! !

It's even more beautiful when it's in full bloom♪

I can't wait for spring to see such a sight.
I wonder if it will get warm soon~(*^-^*)
