梅は咲いたか? Has plum bloomed?

2016.2.22

天気は曇だったが、さほど寒くなかった。今日は運動のために自転車に乗る日だった。私は、また、名古屋農業センターに言ってみることにした。センターの呼び物のしだれ梅の様子を調べるためだ。
It was cloudy, but not so cold. Today was a day to bike for my exercising. I decided to visit Nagoya Agricultural Center, again. There was another reason to go there. It was to check weeping plum, the feature of the Center.

咲き具合は木ごとに違うようだった。平均だと半分、40%、70%??? 難しいね。大雑把に言えば満開ではないが、がっかりするほど悪くはない。
I found the level of blooming varied from a tree to tree. On average, half, 40%, 70%??? It is hard to say. Roughly speaking, it was not full bloom, but not so bad to be disappointed.

幾つか木はほぼ満開。
Some tree were almost in full bloom.

福寿草園も作られていた。私も数年前に一株植えた。去年までは咲いていたのだが、今年は兆しもない。
Also, there was a small area dedicated for Amur adonises. I planted one in my garden a few years ago. It  bloomed until last year, but I have not seen any trace of it this year.

教育館では盆栽展が開かれていた。
In the educational hall, a Bonsai exhibition was held.

満開を楽しむために数週間後にまた来てみよう。
I would like to visit again after a few weeks to enjoy full bloom.
