今日は一日を通して雨。午後から夕方にかけて雷を伴う激しい雨になりました。久しぶりに植物の世話を全くしなくても良い日でした。
It rained all day today. In the afternoon, heavy rain was accompanied by a series of lightning and thunder. The weather gave me a break from gardening for a change.
Thanks to the warm nurturing rain, the tangerine plant that nearly died on the balcony started to show signs of recovery with new leaves growing. My balcony in the summer becomes like a desert with scorching sun, and I have had several fruit trees nearly dying.
苗が生命の危機を感じてか、花がたくさん着いています。タイガの散歩に横を通ったとき、雨の中でも良い香りが漂ってきました。
The plant probably sensed the risk of death and now it is trying to ensure its legacy by producing fruits/seeds, thus lots of flowers on such a small tree. A beautiful scent from the flowers reached me even in the heavy rain, when I passed by to take Taiga out for a walk.
濃い緑色の葉っぱは去年から生き残ったもので、浅緑色のはここ２，３日の芽吹き。雨のおかげで、あっという間に葉が拡大。
The dark leaves are those that grew in autumn last year, after the tree was brought downstairs. The light green leaves are from recent new buds, now expanding in the warm rain.
