サザンカが咲き始めました。

モミジ林にあるサザンカの花が咲き始めました。
薄ピンク色の花びらがとともに2輪同時に咲き、今後も１つまた１つと花が咲く予定です。ツバキとサザンカはよく似ていますが、ツバキは花ごと地面に落ち、サザンカは花びらが地面に散らばります。また、ツバキに比べてサザンカは、葉裏の中心にある筋（葉脈）に細かな毛が多いのも特徴の１つです。

The sasanquas have started blooming.
The sasanquas in Murin-an’s maple grove have started blooming.
The pink petals on two of their flowers bloomed together, and we expect them to continue blooming one by one.
Camellias and sasanquas look alike, but camellia flowers fall to the ground all at once, whereas sasanqua petals flutter to the ground. Compared to camellias, sasanquas have many fine hairs on their leaf veins, which is one of their notable characteristics.
