ブラックベリー「ナバホ」の花には毎年ピンクの八重咲きが何輪か出ます。以前あったオセージにも同様のことが見られました。オセージは甘くてフルーティな風味で気に入っていましたが、うちの庭では弱くて消滅してしまいました。その点、ナバホは丈夫。しかも果肉はオセージのよりも肉厚でジューシー。
The blackberry 'Navaho' produces a few double-petaled pink flowers every year. Likewise, the 'Osage' plant used to have such flowers which were pretty. Moreover, Osage was sweet and fruity. However, the variety was not strong growing in my garden, and the plant died out within a few years. In contrast, Navaho is very tough, and its fruits are more fleshy and juicy than Osage's.
The plant has just started to bloom, and the flowers will be abundant soon.
バラのハンザも咲き始めました。ハンザ苗は３本あり、他の２本はナバホの両脇に地植えになっています。

Hansa rose has also started to bloom. I have 3 Hansa plants, with the other two growing on either side of Navaho.
強香で、日が昇ったあとも香りが飛んでしまうことはありません。ブルガリアで香水用に栽培されているカザンリクの香りはデリケートで、早朝のうちに摘んでしまわなければならないそうです。
これは開花中の２輪のうち上の花。
Hansa's scent is strong, and I do not have to worry about the flower being exposed to the sun and lose the scent. In contrast, the scent of Kazanlik, the variety grown in Bulgaria for the perfume industry, is quite delicate and petals have to be picked before the sun is high up.
This flower is the one on the higher branch.
これは下の花。花の向こうには、ストーカーが.....
This is the other flower, and I can see a stalker beyond the flower....
