Let’s enjoy feeling the changing of the season with the flowers from Shonai.
Plenty of flower varieties are cultivated in Shonai region, reaching 30% of share among all flowers produced in Yamagata prefecture. The diversity comes from rich varieties of terrain, such as intermediate-mountain areas at the foot of Mt Chokai and Mt Gassan, the flat land of the Shonai Plain and the sand dunes near the sea.
Especially, stock, lisianthus and lily are main items in Shonai region, accounting for more than half of the production in prefecture.
In addition, they cultivate flowers that color your life throughout the year, such as Japanese spray mum, celosia and Keio-sakura (cherry blossom).

Period:17-28 May

 

We displayed the cherry blossom collection of Limonium sinensis which has many different colors, each having some subtle differences in color, light and shade. Few flowers fall and it lasts for a long time.

These double-petal varieties bloom like lumpy rice grains at the early stage of blooming, and as they bloom further, they become fluffy spheroidal petals!!
You can enjoy different views depending on when you see them.♪♫♩
These can also be enjoyed as dried flowers.

✤TS Mericlone Co. Ltd is a nursery located in Yamanashi prefecture. Through meri-clone technology they provide an improved statice nursery plant to growers all over Japan.

Please take a look at Limonium sinensis which receives abundant sunlight in Yatsugatake,
so it grows energetically on the test fields.

Peony from JA Nakano-shi

Item:Peony
Growers:JA nakano-shi (Nagano Prefecture)

Now is the best season! Today we would like to introduce peonies of JA Nakano -shi, Nagano prefecture that are now at the peak of harvest for their outdoor cultivation.

✤Enjoy full bloom
Their peonies can bloom large and maintain high-quality because they nourish nursery stock for as long as five years after planting. In addition, they can determine the best timing to harvest the peonies so that they can deliver “peony that can bloom to last in full”

✤How to hydrate peonies
Peony may have sticky nectar on the flower buts.
Because the flower nectar restrain flowering, so you need to wash away the nectar firstly  and cut the bottom of stem in the water for better water uptake. In addition, peonies have large leaves that transpire a lot, so we suggest that you should take off some leaves for long vase life.

To rehydrate peonies, please check movies on our Instagram.

✤Let’s enjoy the fragrance of peony!
Peonies have a fascinating bloom shape, but also have rich fragrance. You can enjoy the fresh fragrance only with a single stem of peony, but if you combine it with other fragrant flowers like roses or herbs, you can increase the effect of fragrance even more!
Why don’t you try this wonderful flower?

“Senryo” (Sarcandra glabra)
JA Kochi Geitosougo (Kochi Prefecture), Mr. Endo kozaemon, Mr. Hasegawa Matabe (Ibaraki Prefecture)

We displayed Cut pine tree and “Senryo” which have been traditionally important items for the Japanese people to celebrate the New Year’s Day.

  • 201130M103
  • 201207SE111

matsu Since pine tree is an evergreen plant which does not lose its leaves all year round, it has been regarded as a lucky charm, symbolizing long life.

In addition, it is displayed on the entrance gate of a house as a mark to welcome the “Toshigami-sama”. Toshigami-sama is a deity based on Japan’s Shinto-ism who is thought to visit each house on the New Year’s Day to bring happiness to people. The deity is also said to rule agriculture and brings a good harvest.

matsu Annual special auction for Cut pine tree was held on December 6.

matsu Variety Introduction
Please pay attention not only to the product lineup but also to the auspicious names.

”Syoryu” literally means a rising dragon. The dragon is a symbol of good luck. “Fukurai” literally means fortune coming. Both are auspicious names suitable for New Year’s celebrations.

✤ Mr. Shioiri Katsumine   “Nebikimatsu” (pines with roots)

It is said that Sarcandra glabra was named after “a lot of money” because it bears many little red or yellow fruits in Japan’s cold season – and that is preciously equivalent with a lot of money. Since it has such a lucky name, people decorate it on the New Year’s Day wishing business prosperous and good luck with money.

*When we say “Senryo”, “ryo” (両) is a unit of money used in Japan until the Edo period. “Sen” (千) means 1,000 in Japanese. 1,000 Ryo is currently $ 1.2 million worth.

Annual special auction for “Senryo”, “Kokematsu” and “Kokeume” was held on December 16.
