Yutaka Nagai San. Your garden is looking well. You have done a splendid job with the tulips, they are lovely. The fresh green, colorful flowers and Mt. fuji provide you a fantastic scene. Can I ask what is the tree with the very red leaves? It looks like a form of Momiji. Thank you for sharing this with.
Peter James San, Thank you for your comment as always. Last year, there was a very shocking event. All the buds as well as bulbs of tulips we planted in the autumn before last were eaten by deer invaded into my garden. The number of bulbs of tulips we planted was about 400 and all gone! It was a nightmare. To forget the sad memory we planted other spring flowers but the damage was too big for us to forget. After that I strengthen the barriers to avoid invasion of deer. As a result, we could have many tulips flowering in my garden this year. That is our sad story about tulips. The red leaves you asked is one of momiji called “de-shojyo “ which means “red fresh leaves”. “de” means bud and “shojyo” means “red”.
@@BeautyOfJapan Yutaka Nagai San. That would have been heart breaking to find that destruction of the tulips. I have had many plants damaged by wildlife, mainly kangaroos, and it is upsetting after all the time and effort put into looking after the plants. Thank you for naming the momiji. I have heard of the de-shojyo variety but have never seem one here in Australia.
