菖蒲

５月３０日（日）

三十年程前、数種類の菖蒲を育てていたが、何時のまにか消えてしまった。

残念だとは思ったけれど、育て方が悪いのだろうと諦めていた。

それが、どういうわけだろう皐月の間から莟がスクーット立ち上がって

今朝、花を見せた。たった一輪だが嬉しさは格別。

We planted several kinds of iris (Shoubu) in my garden approximately 30 years ago. 

But the iris have disappeared while we did not notice.
Though we were disappointed, we thought that our care for iris would be bad.
A bud of the iris stood up from between the azalea which would be what kind of reason. 

Then it had bloomed this morning.  It is only one flower, but our  joy is particular.
