Flowering Peach (Prunus Persica Hanamomo) ハナモモ(花桃)

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

I bumped into these trees on my way to see cherry blossoms. They're flowering peach (Prunus persica Hanamomo). Finding the pinkish red (1st photo) and baby pink (2nd photo) blooms, which are larger than cherry blossoms, were a pleasant surprise to me, who hadn't taken an early morning walk for the last two days because of Asian dust covering Japan.

The Hanamomo flowering peach is native to China but has been improved in Japan to produce more flowers since the Edo period (1603 to 1868). The term "hanamomo" translates to "flower peach" in English. Unusually, the English and Japanese names coincide.

ハナモモ(花桃)です。桜を見に行く途中で偶然見つけてびっくり。赤に近いピンク(1枚目)と薄いピンク(2枚目)が鮮やかです。中国原産ですが、江戸時代にたくさん花を付けるように品種改良されたとのこと。ゴージャスです😊。
