燃えるような赤　Burning red

例年は5月初めの連休に燃えるような赤い色の花を咲かせる霧島ツツジですが、今年はいつもより10日ほど早い開花です。
このツツジはなかなか大きくならず、40年ほど経過してもほとんど背丈は変わりませんが、毎年多くの花を咲かせて喜ばせてくれます。
カープの燃える赤はまだ今年は見られませんが・・・・。
We usually enjoy the Kirishima azalea blossoms in burning red at the beginning of May, but they have already bloomed about 10 days earlier than usual this year.
This azalea is very slow to grow and its height is almost the same as it was 40 years ago, but many blossoms make us happy every year.
The burning red color of the Carp’s, a professional baseball team in Japan, can’t be seen yet this year.
