Trees and shrubs in our tsuboniwa garden of Maeniiya Guest House began to bud.
Tsuge (Japanese Box Wood): This tree is used to make combs in Japan. Tsuge combs have been loved by Japanese women for centuries.
Nandina (miniture type)
Nandina
Jinchouge (Daphne): flower is very fragrant!
Our garden's troublemaker, very invasive "dokudami (houttuynia cordata)" also began to thrive, and I've been very busy getting rid of them.
When I was pulling out dokudami plants yesterday, some seeds were attached to them, and they were corns! Very lovely♪
I trust these were from "popcorns" which our guests made during their stay! I miss the family who stayed at our machiya a few months ago -- especially their 3 year old beautiful Princess...
I took these corns to my house and planted in my planter.
But, can we harvest corns from planters...!?
