むかし、むかし、西国三十三所霊場を回った時に万願寺の
岐阜の谷汲山・華厳寺の境内で鉢植えの藤を求めた。
その年五月、初孫に恵まれたのでその記念にと庭に移して以来
ガレージのフエンスを倒してしまいはしないかと思われる程に
成長し、毎年五月にはその美しさを愉しんでいる。
今年は、他の花々同様、大分早く咲き始めたが・・・。
Once upon a time, when I was traveling around "the Saigoku 33 Kannon pilgrimage route", I got a potted wisteria plant at the Kegon-ji temple on Mt. Tanikumi in Gifu.
In May of that year, I was blessed with my first grandchild and moved the plant to my garden to commemorate the occasion. Since then, it has grown so much that I worried it might even knock down the garage fence.
Every year in May, I enjoy its beauty. This year, like other flowers, it began to bloom much earlier than usual...
