Welcome to “Nishinomiya’s Hardy Plants,” a series introducing weeds, wildflowers, and other plants toughing it out around Nishinomiya, kind of like a “gutsy daikon” growing where you’d never expect it.
This article is brought to you by “Nishinomiya Kitaguchi Dental and Oral Surgery, open year-round,” a dental clinic supporting Nishinomiya Tsushin.
A leaf suddenly caught my eye while I was walking~
This was in the residential neighborhood of Kumoi-cho.
Just sitting there near the bottom of a utility pole.
This looks like the kind of leaf that climbs around things!
But no matter where I looked, I couldn’t find any vine…
Isn’t that kind of amazingーーーーー
Did leaves start growing out of the utility pole???
No, wait.
Maybe it’s not a utility pole, but a tree pretending to be a utility pole.
Tried putting myself in the tree’s shoes
I mean, it’s growing leaves after all 😀
