Hi Foldscopers!
フォールドスコープ探検隊の皆さんこんにちは!
I went for a very long walk with a mission, follow a river from the upper watershed all the way down to the mouth.
休日の散歩に、近くを流れる川に沿って上流から河口まで散策しました。
Along the way, I found many kinds of plants, both wild and cultivated. I consider them my neighbors, and I’d like to introduce them to you! And if you know more about them (e.g. scientific name, plant anatomy, etc) please comment down below!
川沿いを歩いていると、たくさんの草花に出会います。草花も私のご近所さんです。この可愛らしいご近所さん達をシリーズでご紹介したいと思います!それぞれの草花についてもっと詳しい情報をお持ちの方は、ぜひコメント欄でシェアしてください。
In this post, I’m going to focus on this flower, Camellia japonica.
今回は、道端に落ちていたこの椿の花のご紹介です。
First, I separated the petals carefully…
まずは、花弁を一枚ずつ丁寧にわけます。
Then I made a sample slide featuring : disintegrating part of petal, pollens, anther, filament, healthy petal, and dried petal (from to to bottom)
そして、プレパラートの準備。
グラススライドの上から順に、花弁の枯れ始めた部分、花粉、葯(おしべの先端にある花粉が入っている袋)、花糸(おしべの葯を支える糸状の部分)、花弁、枯れて乾いた花弁
disintegrating part of the petal
