lollipop

Asiatic Lily   Lilium 'lollipop'


きれいなピンク一色のはずだったんです。
パッキングのミスでしょうか?
このピエロみたいなお顔をひらいた時は、もう、がっかりでした。

She was supposed to be a lovely pink lily 
but they must have made a packing mistake.
I was disappointed when she finally opened her face and 
showed what I thought was a clown face.

 二年前、母がうちに来てくれた時、

' あの愛らしいそばかすのあるお花は何?'
' どれ、ポピー? それともディジーかな?'
' ちがう ちがう、ユリみたいなんだけど。'

Two years ago my mother visited here.
  
"What is that adorable flower with freckles ?"
"Which one?  The poppy, or maybe the daisy?"
"No, I think it's a lily."

彼女、ピエロからプリマドンナに、一晩で昇級気分。
わたしは未だに反証半疑で
横目でチラッと見たら
あっかんべぇ~してました。

The clown was promoted to a Prima donna over night. 
When I glanced at her suspiciously, 
she was sticking her tongue out at me.

    How are you?
    It sure has been wet, hasn't it?
    Luckily, I have been avoiding big hails and I hope you are doing the same.
