High Thailand! I'm in charge of the castle town blog. This time it is the topic of Okinawan flowers♪
Suddenly, do you know these flowers?

The correct answer is…"Ogocho (yellow butterfly)"!
It is one of the three major flowers in Okinawa, and it is said that it was named because it can be seen as a butterfly flying.
There is a thorn on the bark.

The three major flowers, 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 is derived from the fact that the petals overlap in three steps and that they bloom three times at the time of flowering.
Looking at this way, Okinawa's three great flowers are all red flowers.


The three major flowers introduced this time 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 also been renewed vividly, so you can imagine what kind of flowers will bloom outside of the flowering season.
Please take a look at it.
