Cerasus Sato-Zakura Group ‘Albo-Rosea’ Makino (Fugenzo cherry) 里桜 普賢象(サトザクラ フゲンゾウ)

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

This is the Cerasus sato-zakura ‘Albo-rosea’ Makino, commonly known as the Fugenzo cherry. In Japanese, Fugenzo translates to 'the elephant ridden by Samantabhadra,' a name given because the flower's pistils resemble an elephant's trunk.
 
Like the Ichiyo cherry, the Fugenzo cherry is a member of the sato-zakura (village cherry) group. They are siblings that share the same mother species, the Oshima cherry, and both display a beautiful range of pink hues inherited from her. Another striking feature shared by the Fugenzo and Ichiyo cherries is their multi-petaled blossoms, which give both trees an incredibly gorgeous and full appearance.

里桜 普賢象です。物々しい名前です。由来は、花の中央から出ている雌しべの先端が曲がっていて、普賢菩薩の乗る白象の鼻に似ているためだそうです。象の鼻に見えますか🐘。。。

先日見かけた一葉桜も里桜で、一葉桜も普賢象も母親は大島桜。両方とも八重咲きで豪華です。桜お好きな方はこちらの桜リストもご覧ください!
