ソロモンのシール
Unfortunately, I can not find any Japanese word for it except for the katakana one.
This アマリリス blooming was a happy Easter surprise. I had just asked the woman I bought it from what we needed to do to force it to bloom a second year, when I noticed that it was already starting to send up a flower stalk!
花が四輪あります。(or at least it will once the other two buds open 
)
So beautiful!
I would be lost with my ウッドチッパー!
The other word I find for this is 粉砕機 , a grinder, literally a powder smash machine.
For a couple of years, we owned a small pick-up truck, so we could carry soil and such for our garden. Now, I rely on our chipper to grind up our leaves, and the neighbors(the neighbor’s leaves), to make compost.
And yes, Japanese has lots of compost related words that are kanji!
堆肥 compost. Literally piled high fertilizer.
Is 輪 a counter for flowers?
jisho says it is 
…and a google image search for 花が四輪 turns up plenty of results. However, I’d be curious if anyone knows whether or not there’s something else that’s more commonly used.
My very first ever 赤ジソ seedling!
Also, my 蒟蒻 is finally coming up this year. It didn’t flower at all. If you want to see flowering pictures, you will have to look back a couple of years.

Has it been 寒い where you live? It keeps freezing here. I don’t think the 鈴蘭 in my yard that started to bloom earlier are actually going to. Maybe the later ones will though DX I’m not sure about the irises either. The lilacs bloomed. I never noticed before but we have 2 kinds. The one I included a picture of and then a kind with smaller flowers. And the peony bushes seem to be coming along nicely.
Yes, many cold nights. But, I don’t think that it quite froze last night. We should be safe from 霜 soon.
Our lilacs are just opening up. Bleeding hearts are flowering. Trees are not entirely leafed out yet.
Mornings are still like this:
Oh, I jump right out of bed at 5:00 (weird, I had to wake up at that time when I worked but I wasn’t jumping out of bed at 5:00…) and then I do WaniKani and Bunpro reviews until the sun comes up. Then I check on all the flowers and hang out with the birds.
After some of my lettuce moved beyond the edible stage, I decided to let it keep growing. I have my first ever レタスの花:
Elsewhere, my トマト (seeds started February 1st) have recently been ripening. Would small tomatoes be ミニトマト? プチトマト?
Since I can’t use my back patio (neighbor smokes on their back patio all the time), these tomatoes are being grown indoors via
Kanji used here are:
I did that with some leek I was growing a few years ago! They’re alliums so they had really cool flowers too I’d be interested to see what your lettuce flower ends up looking like.
Leek seems to be most commonly リーク, with ポロ
When it is warm enough, I relish our screen porch in the morning. Each morning I sit outside and listen to the birds, and smell the garden smells.
何ですか
アザレア
桜
I posted about the flowers in my garden on HelloTalk and I asked people what their favorite spring flower is. The top result was definitely ツツジ.
When I had looked up what azalea is in Japanese for this post, I got azalea in katakana. But the word for azalea is ツツジ–躑躅!!
I apologize for the misinformation >o< But now we know the kanji for azalea and that it katakana it looks like 3 smiley faces.
This obviously wasn’t a large enough sample to conclude the most popular spring flower in Japan, but I was surprised that was the most popular response.
I thought that the さくら is supposed to be the favorite flower!
I have been to busy in the garden to post. And, my digital camera has had trouble communicating with my computer.
My two 70 year old ツツジ bloom very late. But they will be opening next week. I am excited. Each year, I plan to start some grafts from them. Maybe this will be the year.
From last year:
Maybe a lot of people have ツツジ right now so it was on their mind XD
This is a two week old 大根. They grow and mature lightning fast!
We also have:
大根おろし: grated 大根, a 大根 grater
大根焚き: a 大根 offering ceremony
大根足: 大根 legs
大根餅: a 大根 cake
ダイコン属: the genus Raphanus
大根の漬物: pickled 大根
Also, has anyone been hearing about the 大雀蜂 that they have found in Washington state? Are these the same hornets that they eat in Japan?
