Large Aoi, Titan Bikas

[3 photos]

The other day, I saw Titan Bikas at the Kana Garden, a paid facility in Hiratsuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
(If you go by private car more than 3 times a year, you can get an annual passport)

It was the first time I saw this flower, but it has an overwhelming presence.

Anyway, the size of the petals is over 20 cm and it is a large flower.

When I first saw it, I thought it was a hibiscus, but it's still big.

For hibiscus, the five pistils should extend straight along the flow of the Sibe stanchions.

On the other hand, Titan Bikas tended to be upward, similar to Fuyo and Mukuge.

(I was able to confirm the name of the flower on the official page of Kana Garden)

In the Kana garden, the plant height is self-supporting from low ones around 1m to over 2m without pillars.

I'm impressed that it can support large flowers over 20 cm.

The flower colors are roughly divided into three types, but when examined, there are five types.

(There were five varieties that could be confirmed, but there may have been more)

My personal favorite pink color is the single color Pleiades.

Pink bicolor iris.

Red uranus and scarlet flare.

I don't like the primary colors so much, but the slightly desaturated Uranus and the burning flare are beautiful.

The white elf feels like it melts into the air so that the edges of the petals are transparent.

The light of the cloudy sky is beautiful if it is the same mallow family.

But Titan Bikas is as beautiful as the hibiscus under the blue sky.
