oddity

a second wave of cherry trees, presumably another species, are now bursting into bloom...this particular one is an oddity though, as it seems a plum tree has been grafted onto it
the cherry petals are pink, while the smaller plum blossoms are white

Great colorful image, David. Now, the fruit is it a plum-cherry or a cherry-plum. You should go back, when the fruit is almost mature. Great capture. V.

It does look like a grafting job, but whatever the reason, it provides double the pleasure. A happy shot. V

That is an oddity. Pretty nevertheless.
