23: Flowers of Coral ardisia (2011 season)

Flowers of Coral ardisia (2011 season)
マンリョウ(万両)の花(赤実)
Ardisia crenata
東側花壇。
今年は例年になく花付きが良い。伸びた笹の葉が
うまい具合に日陰を作ってくれたからだろうか。
マンリョウの類は日当たりが良すぎると花が咲きにくい。
（=実付きが悪くなる）。秋の実りに思いを馳せながら、
地味な花を愛でる。

Glad you like it !
These flowers are very small and unremarkable.
But, This tree bears a lot of glossy red fruits.
So, its japanese name "Man-ryou" means "million-gold coins".
