Asebi tunnel

Tunnel-shaped acevies highlight the beauty of the garden.

They bloom from March to the beginning of April, they bloom a lot of faintly scented vase-shaped flowers.
At Hakone Imperial Gift Hakone Park, you can see asebi growing in a tunnel shape!
However, on the contrary to its appearance, the branches and leaves are a little toxic, and when a horse eats, its legs become numb and irritated, it is called "numbness of the legs", and eventually it was called Asebi.
In addition, Asebi wrote the kanji character "Emaki", which is derived from the fact that horses became drunk with poison.

Chiosum itoideum moss grows in a way that it is entangled with asebi

The moss hangs like silk from the branches along the mountain stream, and I prefer a damp place.
The name is given because it is often found in Kiyosumiyama in Chiba Prefecture.
It is a very valuable moss ♪
