Flowers fill up the hearts of citizens !

by Kazu

The flowers of azalea seemed to be in the peak of their beauty. They fully flourished and inspire the visitors with their vivid color of orange. On the other hand, the flowers of Magnolia started to wrap up their peak of beauty this year.

i am not sure these yellow and red flowers but they also pleased us so much with their beautiful color and shape. Soon hot summer will come ans stay for months. We have to prepare for the hotness and humidity.

 

The Season of flowers !

by Kazu

All the blossoms of wisteria on the shelves were from this one huge trunk of the tree. I seemed to be difficult for the tree to keep its body without the supportive shelves. The shelves to keep to support the branches were well-designed.

The orange azalea flowers were so bright and shining under the sunshine. It might be difficult to gaze at the flower for a while. The vivid color gave a twist to the beautiful scenery.

The flowers of Japanese peony wer also blooming. It must be the high season of flowers blooming in the park. We caught the best timing to visit the park.  
 

Tenjinyama Park in Sapporo !

by Kazu

I am so sorry for spoiling the beauty of the scenery but I have to convey these photos to my friends on this blog. One of the tall tree seemed to have been conquered by the wisteria in the park and covered with the pale purple blossoms as if the covered tree was blooming.

White small flowers shaped like bells were also blooming at the foot of the trees. They turned to the fruits like berries. They also smelled nice and contributed to the comfy environment of the park.

Red maple leaves keep their color even in summer but I was wondering if the color might absorb to much heat and spoil their bodies or not. The system of the creature seemed to be rational but a mystery.  

 

Wisteria Blooming in the Tenjinyama Park!

by Kazu

The blossoms of pale purple wisteria bloom so nicely near the entrance of Tenjinyama park in Sapporo City. The aroma of the blossoms was drifting in the air. 

Other than wisteria, azalea, cherry blossoms, Forsythia and Magnolia Kobus decorate the park every year. The park is in the residential area of Hiragishi District. The residents can enjoy these beautiful scenery near their condo. 

The pollen of cedar, silver birch and other plants annoy us every year but that may be the token we have to pay to enjoy the beautiful art works created by the plants.  

 

Japanese Apricot Blossoms Blooming after cherry !

by Kazu

This is the tunnel of double-petal cherry blossoms that wrap up the season of cherry. The aroma of cherry blossoms filled up the tunnel and made us so relaxed. 

Have you ever heard of the illustrator Ms. Rei Nakai  who created the child books titled "Obake no Maaru" ? She was introduced by the magazine issued by Air Do that connects Hokkaido and other places in Japan. She is one of our friends living near our condominium.

Different from the main island of Japan "Honshu",  Japanese apricot blossoms bloom after cherry in Hokkaido. The pink color of the Japanese apricot blooming on the premises of Hokkaido University is so strong and impressive. 

 

Blooming at the end of the season of cherry blossoms!

Almost at the end of the season of cherry blossoms, the ones of double petals bloom in front of the Faculty of Medicine of Hokkaido University every year. 

They created a pink tunnel in front of the Faculty every year and ease the pain of the students. Many citizens living near there visit in days and nights. 

It is said that double-petals blossoms don't bear fruits. But they bring something warm and comfortable to our mind. Thanks God they bloomed again ! 

 

The Green Center of Kitami City !

by Kazu

It was so fine and the sunshine was so bright in my hometown Kitami City on that day. The Green Center that had a greenhouse to raise the plants from southern regions on this globe seemed to be well-maintained and -trimmed. 

I've never seen the visitors to this facility because I came there only early in the morning. There had been a hospital for the patients of tuberculosis on this premises before.

The cost to maintain and care this facility and park may require a small fortune every year but if possible, I would like to visit this area again and again as long as I live.
