White and Red


Please, look at the photo above carefully.
You can find a ume (Japanese apricot) tree that has both red blossoms and white blossoms.
This ume tree stands in kameido tenjin that is a shinto shrine located in kameido, koto ward.

I'm wondering how it is possible! but the result is marvellous, as your last picture shows it! I wish you a good week-end!

Very pleasing pictures!

I think the ume tree with the two different blossoms colours might have been grafted in the past. But I'm no specialist in gardening.
I'm more such of a kind of Nobu-san; I'm delighted by the beauty of nature and like to capture the scene or moment with my camera.

That is so unusual. How did that happen? Very pretty though!
