曇り空の肌寒い天気が続いた後、今朝は久しぶりに太陽の光を受ける朝を迎えました。
洗濯物を外に干して、駅前のもんぜん市を覗きに行くと、めずらしい花が売られていました。床の間に飾る絶好の枝なので早速購入して、家へ帰って壺に挿して座敷に置いて、はて名前は？.....
先ほど教えてもらったはずが、もう忘れています。仕方なく、もう一度戻って、今度はしっかり紙に書いて帰ってきました。「黒ロウバイ」だそうですが、ネットでは「クロバナロウバイ（蝋梅）」とありました。大きな深い緑の葉の間にえんじ色の花やつぼみが見え隠れしています。香りはそれほど強くありませんが、床の間を清々しく飾ってくれるクロバナロウバイの到来を喜んでいます。
After the cloudy and chilly days, we had a beautiful sunny morning.
After hanging out the laundry outside, I went to the morning market at the Community Center in the station and I found an interesting flower. I bought the branches and brought them back home to decorate the guest room. I put them in a vase and placed it in the alcove. Then I tried to recall the name of the flower which a woman at the market had told me a few minutes ago but I already forgot it. Since I wanted to know the name, I went back to the market again to ask about it. I didn't want to forget it again, so I wrote it on the paper this time.
It is "Kurobana-Rohbai (strawberry bush). We can see some dark red flowers between beautiful fresh green leaves. The aroma is not strong. I appreciate this beautiful rare plant in my house.
