Flower for famine

Flower arrangement

As for the pink flower, as for the trees and plants which produced a Clethra barbinervis, a red fruit, hiperikamu, a flower of the bluish violet are gentians. When write it as the Clethra barbinervis in a kanji; “a Clethra barbinervis.” This seems to be because there is the history given an order to start to store the Clethra barbinervis which grew wild in the mountains and the hill country with cultivation for famine in old days why it became such dignified name. I eat the Clethra barbinervis at the time of famine, but usually love it if edible. When I save it, I am dried after having steamed a young leave. When I eat immediately without saving it, I boil a bud and I deep-fry boiled greens with dressing, vegetables with dressing and eat after lye nukioshita.
