Slowly Slowly .... (ゆっくりと、ゆっくりと)

３個目のハイビスカス。
This is the third hibiscus of the year.


このハイビスカスの花の命は、ふつか。
でも、こんなに美しく開くまでには、
ほんとうに、ほんとうに、ゆっくりと、ゆっくりと・・・。

The life of this flower is only two days.
However... until opening
this flower was really slowly, slowly and slowly...

2日前
明日は、咲くぞ！と心して、写真をとったけれど・・。
Two days earlier I was eager that she will be opening the next day..

前夜
明日こそ！黄色から、色もうっすらオレンジ色に。
However, the next day her color changed from yellow to soft orange.

今日から旅へ。
まだ、たくさんの蕾。
お留守番してくれるパートナーに任せます。よろしくね。

I will travel for 10 days.
The hibiscus has a lot of blooms still.
I will ask my partner to take care of it.
I know he will take care of it very well.
