This succulent looks like it’s about to bloom, though I don’t know its name.

I was seated at the far right in the fifth row, but I was lucky enough to see the Takarazuka performers up close when they came down into the audience.
It made me so happy.

The katakuri flowers bloom in shades of reddish purple.
They have a humble, modest charm.

I went for a walk in the park and saw spiraea in full bloom.
They looked so lovely.

It looks like it will bloom soon.
But for the past few days, the weather hasn’t really felt like tulip season.
It’s so cold!

It shows its face every year.
It’s ornamental and different from the garlic chives used for cooking.
The petals are cute, and when you break them, they smell like chives.

Sometimes I just crave it.
They say that’s when you might be lacking protein, iron, or amino acids.
Anyway, it was delicious.

Chamomile tea is made by steeping dried chamomile flowers from the daisy family.
It has a relaxing effect.
Since it’s caffeine-free, you can enjoy it anytime and as much as you like.

It was so delicious that I’m sharing another photo.
Though it looks plain with its dark brown color, it’s very tasty (of course, that depends on personal preference…).
“Sticky” refers to its rich, gooey texture.
Sticky toffee pudding is generally a steamed sponge cake topped with a caramel-flavored sticky sauce.
This warm, moist sponge cake with sweet, sticky sauce is a traditional British dessert.

This is the afternoon tea at JURI’S TEA ROOM in Azabu-Juban.
Recently in Japan, stylish and photogenic afternoon teas have become popular, but this one is the authentic British version, with traditional sweets and tea.
The scones on the second tier and the sticky toffee pudding on the top tier were especially delicious.
