Pretty Pink Pom-Poms
Yes, spring is now well and truly in the air, as winter in Melbourne fades into memory. This morning it was delightfully sunny with beautiful light and glorious blue skies, so I went for a stroll with purpose. Purpose? Yes, purpose! A few days ago when I was out with my partner we drove past a chrysanthemum-flowered variety of pink sakura cherry blossoms in full bloom. I had to go back and photograph it, and today seemed to be the perfect day to do so.
A cherry blossom, also known as a Japanese cherry or sakura, is a flower of trees in the genus Prunus or the Prunus subgenus Cerasus. This particular variety is a prunus "Asano" whish is a beautiful chrysanthemum-flowered breed of flowering cherry tree. It's abundant deep pink blossoms are small, but are packed with up to one hundred tiny narrow petals. Wild species of the cherry tree are widely distributed, mainly in the Northern Hemisphere. They are common in East Asia, especially in Japan. They generally refer to ornamental cherry trees, not cherry trees grown for their fruit. The cherry blossom is considered the national flower of Japan.
