This is the seasonal phrase given to these days of end of July. If we only think of the letters, it seems to mean the empress trees begin to bloom first flowers. However, I learned this phrase means the blossoms begin to bear fruits. The flowers are known to bloom in early summer.

この7月の終わりの時期の七十二候の名称です。字だけを見ると桐のお花が咲き始めるという意味みたいですが、その花が実を結びだすという意味のようです。お花は初夏に咲くのだそうです。

This is the seasonal phrase for this time of the year. “Montes come into the world.” I don’t care much for this kind of insects. However, I guess this must be the most representative example for this season.

The seasonal phrase for this time of the year is “Flight of geese travel back to north”. Surely, we have been having warm days, or rather, as it is so warm you could use the word “hot” at times. I, unfortunately, am ignorant about this bird’s behavior, though.

この時期の七十二候の名称は、「鴻雁北」で、雁が北方に戻っていくということだそうです。このところ暖かいというより、いきなりむしろ暑いと感じる日も増えてきました。けれども、この鳥の習性のことはわかりません。
