Garden flowers from a city of Tokyo

Walking to my attic or to post office (for orders, thank you for supporting my small bussiness), we can see beatiful garden flowers in this season.

Tsutsuji - azalea

Tsutsuji and Satsuki are both "Azelea" in English, and yes, they are very similar.

But in Japanese, smaller Azelea is "Satsuki". Satsuki is also same sound of name of May in older Japanese. I think this name comes from because this flower bloom in Satsuki (May).

This bunchly blooming flower is "Kodemari", I think this is the name of this flower.

Lovely flower. This is a garde of public housing in a small town in Tokyo :-) I like this alley to see these flowers.

We can see Sunflower in summer.
