Can you guess how many blossoms came out of that cherry bud?
There were actually three Akebono cherry blossoms hidden inside that bud!
I’m not even sure what all the parts of a cherry blossom are called. I’ve registered to the cherry scout program to learn more about these beautiful trees. There will be a free workshop called Blossom Biology on April 11, 2013 offered by Douglas Justice.
Tree Talk (not a Walk) in the evening: Blossom Biology Workshop
- April 11, 2013, Thursday, 7:30pm to 9pm
- Classroom at VanDusen Botanical Garden, in the new building, end of hallway to the left
- Presented by Douglas Justice, Associate Director and Curator of Collections, UBC Botanical Garden & Centre for Plant Research
Douglas brings the cherries to you! Learn how to identify our cherry cultivars. Registration is requested for this workshop, as seating is limited.
