April 28, 2005: Flowers and foods
In my garden, the name of the flowers in full bloom is this Banksia rose. It was planted about three years ago. It grew huge and now stretching long twigs around the garage. Lovely yellow flowers are in their height now.
This is Hanakatabami (Oxalis boweiei herb) which was given from my friend. It quickly opens flower when lit by the sun shine.
I bought the seedlings this spring of North pole, one of my favorites.
Smalljasmine was planted on the soil on the foot of terrace from the flower pod. It grew up to the roof height and releases good fragrance.
I found a large flower of poppy this morning.
Lemon tree was planted in commemoration with my son's marriage. The Kabosu tree was planted as well.
Tutankhamen pea held flower on April 28 but the flower was gone and many reddish violet cases were hanging down.
On April 28, we had a meeting of GOF. We prepared rice seasoned with soy sauce and boiled with meat or seafood, and other savory vegetables such as bamboo young shoot,bracken,butterbur sprout, and dropwort.
"Will you come and join us, we have something good", a phone call lured me out and visited her house after the regular meeting. The specialty of the day was "Pizzala's pizza" which we can't get here in Oita.
The taste of Italian basil was very good. It was a present from her friend in Fukuoka, she said.

I was really lucky by enjoying good foods today.
