Welcome to “Nishinomiya’s Hardy Plants,” a section where we introduce weeds and wildflowers bravely growing around Nishinomiya, kind of like the famous “gutsy daikon” radish.
This time, here’s what we found near Boulangerie Miyanaga in Aioi-cho↓↓
A cute pink flower popping up by the roadside😍
It’s really hanging in there～
You’ve probably seen this flower around quite often!
I don’t know much about wildflowers, so I looked it up using the handy “Google Lens”🤗
According to “Google Lens”, this flower is apparently called “Yugesho”～

In kanji, it seems to be written as “夕化粧”(^^)/
Apparently, the name comes from the fact that it blooms in the evening, but these days it seems to bloom even during the day.
In fact, these photos were taken just after noon…
Habitat: Roadsides, vacant lots, and riverbanks
Here’s where the Yugesho was blooming↓↓
