My son has a young ornamental cherry tree which is just blooming. I've never seen blossoms like these! They come in clusters of three with layers of petals. They look a bit like ballerina skirts. Believe it or not, we have a freeze with snow in the forecast for the end of the week, so I had to go get a picture. They were surprisingly difficult to photograph, though, as the blooms are so heavy they droop down, making both focus and lighting quite a challenge. I do hope the buds will survive the end of the week weather.
