路の端に　百日草の　花咲きて　暑き夏にも　目を楽します

令和六年八月十一日

百日草は目立たぬ花なり

あまた華やかな花あれど此はひそりと咲く花なり

先日都内歩く路の植栽に百日草咲きたり

暑き日々に華やかな花は咲かず百日草は暑さに耐へて路の端にひそりと咲く

Zinnias are inconspicuous flowers.

There are many gorgeous flowers, but this one blooms quietly.

The other day I saw zinnias blooming in a flower bed along the path I was walking in Tokyo.

Although the gorgeous flowers don't bloom on hot days, zinnias endure the heat and bloom along the roadside.
