sasanqua
【山茶花・サザンカ】



My garden has some sasanqua trees
and this one is in (full) bloom.
You can also say that
it is in (full) blossom
or that
it is blooming or blossoming.

In a week or so this flower will wither
or shrivel
before it falls and litters the garden.

Other buds have already come out
and they will open [unfold] before long.


咲く、満開である:bloom, blossom, be in bloom [blossom]
散る:wither, shrivel
散らばる:litter

litter を「ゴミ」という意味でよく用いられる:
No littering. (ゴミを捨てないで!)

つぼみ: bud
