A cherry blossom is a flower of many trees of genus Prunus. The most well-known species is the Japanese cherry, Prunus serrulata, which is commonly called sakura. They are widely distributed, especially in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere including Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Mainland China, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Myanmar, Thailand and West Siberia. Along with the chrysanthemum, the cherry blossom is considered the national flower of Japan. Japan has a wide variety of cherry blossoms (sakura); well over 200 cultivars can be found there. All varieties of cherry blossom trees produce small, unpalatable fruit or edible cherries. Edible cherries generally come from cultivars of the related species Prunus avium and Prunus cerasus. 43565
Sometimes I feel the need to write ...
to add some narrative to the image and to share my experience of the subject.
I even think it's as much about me working things out for myself in the process of doing this, like a gentle sifting of the wheat from the chaff for the golden grains of my own truth.
Then there are times when I feel silence would be better ....
My cherry trees out in the back are in full bloom. It looks as if it will be another bumper crop. I have two pie cherry trees and one Rainier. Both make delicious cherries. Two trees for pies and jellies and one for eating right off the tree. :-)
Happy Textured Tuesday!
My Cherry Tree surprised me with a second blooming explosion despite Spring has not really Sprung in my garden yet
