It is around this time that the clouds continue to be gloomy.
At Tategamori Ark Ranch, we were busy planting plants every day to switch to summer flowers. The planting work is still going on, so I can't help but check the weather forecast for the right amount of rain.

Well, this time I would like to introduce flowers that are strong against rain and weak flowers.

Speaking of flowers that are resistant to rain, it is the standard "marigold" in the flower bed. The buds will bloom one after another and bloom without losing to the rain.

Hydrangea, which is beautiful even when wet in the rain, is also a strong plant.

"Petunia" and "Calibrachoa" are examples of flowers that are vulnerable to rain. It blooms for a long time until late autumn, and the colors are very colorful. It is a familiar variety for group planting and flower beds, but the petals are so soft that when exposed to rain, the petals stick together and become damaged. It's good to pick the petals from time to time.
If possible, you can enjoy the beautiful flowers for a long time by placing them under the eaves where they are not directly exposed to rain.

Even in the plant shop, when it starts to rain, I hurriedly move indoors. (This is a lot of hard work...)

Knowing the characteristics of plants and adding a little hand to management,  
Let's make it bloom beautifully d(⌒ー⌒)!
