Cherry Blossoms : In full bloom . . .
Victoria has experienced a once in 50 years flood for the last few weeks. Banksia Park Cherry Grove, essentially a stone's throw distance from Yarra River, has been inundated by flood water. Access has been blocked off for 3 days.
The blossoming trees are Shogetsu. This was taken after the first flood. Another major flood recurred 2 weeks after this. Fingers crossed that the cherry trees can survive this severe test.
The weather was quite unstable, this was one the few moments when shifting clouds produced dramatic effects on this collection of 7 or 8 original 40 year old trees.
