Ornamental Cherry Blossom Buds in Winter
The theme for “Looking close… on Friday” this week is “bokeh in black and white”. It's winter here at present with many grey days, so it almost seemed appropriate to process this photo in black and white, since it was taken on a winter day.
Melbourne has been blessed with some beautiful, sunny days this winter, which has made going for a suburban stroll a delight.
Much was my surprise the other day on a wander to discover an old Ornamental Cherry Blossom in bloom! This would not be odd if it were spring: however it is winter!
Prunus serrulata or Japanese cherry, also called hill cherry, oriental cherry, East Asian cherry, is a species of cherry native to China, Japan and Korea, and is used for its spring cherry blossom displays and festivals.
