カリガネソウ
カリガネソウの原産地
カリガネソウはシソ科の多年草です。東アジアから中央アジアの高地まで広く分布。日本では北海道、本州、四国、九州の山地に自生しています。日照と湿り気のある林縁を好み、柔らかく直立して草丈が１ｍくらい。葉は卵形で縁にギザギザがあり、触れると独特の臭気を放ちます。
カリガネソウの花の形
カリガネソウの名前の由来は花の形が飛び立つ雁の姿に似ているから。帆掛舟にも似ているので帆掛草とも呼ばれます。花弁は上に２枚、下に左右１枚ずつ、真下に舌のような１枚。雌しべの花柱と雄しべの花糸が弓のように伸び上がり、先端の柱頭と葯が花の手前に垂れ下がります。
カリガネソウの受粉
カリガネソウはハナバチなどが花粉を媒介する虫媒花です。花に虫の重みが加わると、花の向きが傾き、雌しべの柱頭と雄しべの葯が虫の背中に接触。雌しべは虫の背中に着いている他花の花粉を受け取り、雄しべは自花の花粉を虫の背中に渡します。つまり、花粉を同時に受け渡し。
カリガネソウの花言葉
カリガネソウは花の形が鳥や舟に似ています。そして、舌を出したような花弁、花弁に描かれた斑点模様、斑点模様に誘き寄せられた虫の背中、雄しべと雌しべによる花粉の受け渡し…。そのような面白さのせいか、花言葉は「清楚」「誠実」「実質」に加えて「楽しい思い出」です。
Blue Mist Spiraea
Origin of Blue mist spiraea
Blue mist spiraea is a perennial plant of the Labiatae family. Widely distributed from East Asia to the highlands of Central Asia. In Japan, it grows naturally in the mountains of Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. Prefers sunshine and moist forest edges, is soft and upright, and has a plant height of about 1 m. The leaves are oval and have jagged edges that give off a distinctive odor when touched.
Blue mist spiraea flower shape
The origin of the name Blue mist spiraea is that the shape of the flower resembles the appearance of a flying goose. It is also called sailing grass because it resembles a sailing boat. There are two petals on the top, one on the left and one on the bottom, and one like a tongue just below. The style of the pistil and the filament of the stamen grow like a bow, and the stigma and anther at the tip hang down in front of the flower.
Blue mist spiraea pollination
Blue mist spiraea is an insect-borne flower whose pollen is transmitted by bees and the like. When the weight of the insect is added to the flower, the direction of the flower tilts, and the stigma of the pistil and the anther of the stamen come into contact with the back of the insect. The pistil receives the pollen of other flowers on the back of the insect, and the stamen passes the pollen of its own flower to the back of the insect. In other words, pollen is delivered at the same time.
Blue mist spiraea flower language
Blue mist spiraea is similar in flower shape to birds and boats. And the petals like sticking out the tongue, the spot pattern drawn on the petals, the back of the insect attracted to the spot pattern, the delivery of pollen by the stamens and pistils … Perhaps because of such fun, the flower language is “fun memories” in addition to “neatness,” “honesty,” and “substantial.”
