[今日の記事] succulent Any plant with fleshy, thick tissues adapted to water storage. Some succulents (e.g., the cactus) store water only in the stem and have no leaves or very small leaves; others (e.g., agaves) store water mainly in the leaves. Most have deep or broad root systems and are native to either deserts or regions that have a semiarid season. In succulents, the stomata (see stoma) close during the day and open at night — the opposite of the usual pattern — in order to minimize transpiration.

[今日の記事] Irish moss is Canada's most valuable commercial seaweed. Originally used in blancmanges and milk jellies, it is still available in "natural food" stores. The dried plants are used to clarify beers, wines, coffee and honey. Since WWII, major exploitation has been for extraction of hydrocolloids (substances yielding gel when water is added, eg, carrageenians) used in convenience foods. Carrageenan is not processed in Canada, and thousands of tonnes of Irish moss are exported annually. AQUACULTURE trials, in tanks and pools, have been carried out in NS.
[今日の記事] Chinese Parasol Tree [Firmiana simplex] The Chinese Parasol Tree has truly enormous club-shaped leaves which make it perfect for use as a shade tree. The deciduous Chinese Parasol tree can quickly grow several feet per year to provide a thick blanket of shade anywhere in very little time. Songbirds and other wildlife often seek shelter under the parasol's leaves when danger or rain is approaching. The leaves of the Chinese Parasol are huge and provide shelter from rain for wildlife animals. Also known as the Umbrella Tree, the Chinese Parasol Tree blocks a large percentage of rain and sunlight alike from reaching the forest floor. The noble foliage of the Chinese Parasol (Chinese Umbrella) Shade Tree produces leaves one foot by one foot and are shaped like maple leaves that turn bright yellow in the Fall. In The Orient, the Chinese Parasol (Chinese Umbrella) Shade Tree is used widely as a street tree.
[今日の記事] Ancient Lotuses Large Flowers Bloom Viewing Peak at Byodo-in Temple
Ancient lotuses called "Byodo-in Hasu," which were grown from seeds approximately 200 years old, have opened their large white petals in the garden of Byodo-in Temple in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture, delighting the eyes of tourists.
The Byodo-in Hasu seeds were found in 1999 when an archeological excavation was conducted in the temple garden, and the Uji City Botanical Gardens helped to cultivate the lotus. The first Byodo-in Hasu bloomed in 2001. The flowers feature white petals with slightly pink tips.
Due to the higher temperatures from spring to summer this year, the flowers started to bloom 5 days earlier than usual. Moreover, there are a greater number of blooms overall, so six to seven flowers per pot will open in turn.
In addition to the nine pots of Byodo-in Hasu, 53 pots holding about 20 different types of lotus are on display in the temple grounds. Families and tourists visited the temple early in the morning to savor the flavor of summer.
The flowers will be at their best until around the beginning of August. The Kannon-do Hall, a Japanese Important Cultural Property, and the Rakan-do Hall, an Uji City Cultural Property, both of which were not open for viewing during the rainy season, have also opened to the public since July 19.

①A light, spongy, very sweet confection made of corn syrup, gelatin, sugar, and starch and dusted with powdered sugar. ②A confection of sweetened paste, formerly made from the root of the marshmallow plant. ③often marsh mallow Botany.

[今日の記事] berry simple, fleshy fruit that usually has many seeds, such as the banana, tomato, and cranberry. The middle and inner layers of the fruit wall often are not distinct from each other. Any small, fleshy fruit is popularly called a berry, especially if it is edible. Raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries are not true berries but aggregate fruits—fruits that consist of a number of smaller fruits. The date is a one-seeded berry whose stone is hard nutritive tissue. The leathery-rinded berry of citrus fruits is called a hesperidium, and the elongated, tough-skinned berrylike fruits of the watermelon, cucumber, and gourds are referred to as pepos. [出典]B.C.E.
