先日[せんじつ]、椿[つばき]について書[か]きました。ニュージーランドで、いろいろな種類[しゅるい]の椿[つばき]を見[み]てびっくりしました。特[とく]に、上[うえ]の写真[しゃしん]のような八重[やえ] (= many layers (of flower petals))の椿[つばき]は私[わたし]にとって珍[めず]しかったです。
I wrote about camellias the other day. When I came here, to New Zealand, I was surprised to find so many kinds of camellias. Particularly I had never seen something like the one in the photo above – camellias with many layers of flower petals.
