My neighbor brought a bag of this beautiful plums. The tree grew from an abandoned seed from her lunch dessert several years ago!

「うっちゃった種から育ったの」近くの方がプラムをお裾分けしてくれた。これから食べた果物の種は全部庭に撒こうか検討中。

Didn’t mean to start a new piece yet, but I received a bag of this plum! So, another chasing race begins. The fruit decays very fast - it was almost all light green yellow when I started, but as time goes by, getting redder and redder..... I intended to portray a brilliant green yellow fruit,, instead getting a brownish spotty one! Now, the leaves are gone, so I have to dig deep into the bag to look for the similar leaf!! Or, l may visit my neighbor’s garden to pick more!!!

プラムをたっぷりいただいた。しばらくたまった家の用事をする予定だったのに、つい誘惑に負けて描き始める。。しかし、すごいスピードで色が変わっていく。。。描き初めは綺麗な明るいイエローグリーンだったのに。。。。そして葉っぱは途中で枯れてしまう。似た葉っぱを探してまたまたモチーフと追いかけっこ。地味だけど割とスリリングです。

Should I plant them in my garden, or have them in a flower vase..... That is the question. .
庭に植えるべきか、このまま水栽培か、、、、迷うところ。

Found young sprouts coming out from baby taro potatoes in my fridge. So, I let them grew. The potatoes from the farmers market easily gets new shoots, but it wasn’t the case for the supermarket potatoes....

Cutting the last batch of the seed pods. Each pod contains about 1600 seeds! I was picking the poppy heads and collecting seeds very carefully not to let this super strong poppy boost in the next spring. It is cute though....

Long-headed poppy
長実雛芥子、長実雛罌粟
(Papaver dubium)

Weed? Invasive? Or cute accent in my backyard?? A single poppy head produces about 1600 seeds!! It is a bit strange to decide which plant is a weed and which is a garden flower. .

The sweet scent of japanese honeysuckle drifting in the air, it signals the arrival of the summer. Well, there will be the rainy season before the real summer will come though. .
金銀花、良い匂いが漂ってきて夏の予感。今年の春は冷たい春だったけど、植物達はしっかり季節の変わり目を察知してるんだなあ、と感心。

A bush of white chrysanthemums at the dark side of our backyard.
Every year, it blooms gloriously at the shadow side of our house without any help from me. No watering, no fertilizing. Just let it be, and it makes me smile every spring.

Moving forward... Thank you @atelierbotaniquecocaz
