“Petite sunflower”

When I visited the beach, it was all summer. Sea bells and wild radish have already finished the flowering season. The roundleaf chestetree colored the beach with blush-purple flowers. Sunflowers were in full bloom along the embankment. Flowers smaller than the well-known sunflower bloomed toward the sun, swaying in the sea breeze.  [JULY 2021]

Helianthus cucumerifolius

よく知られるヒマワリよりも小さな花を咲かせる、ヒメヒマワリ。海岸の一角で一面に黄色い花を太陽に向けて開いていました。街中でもさまざまな場所で見かける植物です。
