I had hit upon this beautiful idea to buy a few dollars of flowers a few times a week, instead of buying a bunch at a time, which could cost about 20 dollars but would only last a week. Then the other day, I found this branch of camelia with lots of buds at a not-so-fancy flower shop in the neighborhood. Camelia is one of my most favorite flowers. It may not be a popular choice among all the flowers in the world, but, don’t you love trees with lots of flowers? My favorite kind is ones with many layers of petals in pale colors (not the dark red kind that looks like a murder scene when flowers starts to fall). 花がある生活というのは美しい。でも花束を時々買っては、すぐに痛んでしまうのに後悔するのを繰り返して、ふと気がついた。一度に数百円分の花を、週に2回くらい買って、次々足して行くのはどうだろう? そんなとき近所の花屋で椿の枝を500円で見つけて、購入。蕾が沢山ついていて、水に差しておくだけで次々咲いてくるのがステキ。…
