Hey Thai! I'm in charge of the castle town blog. This is the topic of flowers in Okinawa.♪
Suddenly, do you know this flower?
The right answer…"Ogo butterfly (yellow butterfly)"!
It is one of the three major famous flowers in Okinawa, and it seems that it was named because it looks like a butterfly flying.
There is a thorn on the bark.
The third famous flower, the second one is the famous "Daigo".
There is a legend that if a lot of daigo flowers bloom, that year will be a year with many typhoons.
Finally, I would like to introduce "Sandanka (Three-stage flower)".
It seems that the name comes from the fact that the petals overlap in three steps and that the flowers bloom three times at the time of flowering.
If you look at this way, Okinawa's three most famous flowers are all red flowers.
The three famous flowers introduced here are all planted around Uezu Residence in the Ryukyu Kingdom Castle Town area.
On this day, only the giant butterflies were blooming.
The signboard has been renewed vividly, so you can imagine what kind of flowers will bloom outside the flowering season.
Please take a look at it.
