The flower core turns red 花芯は赤くなる


From a distance 遠目に見るとこうです

The name "Gioiko" cherry is after the yellow color of Japanese nobility clothing, and the biggest feature is, as shown in that name, its yellow, greenish yellow and green blossoms due to carotenoid (i.e., yellow pigment) and chlorophyll (i.e., green pigment) in the petals. The core of the flowers turn red before they fall, which creates a beautiful color contrast between yellow, green and red. The flowers are multi-petalled but their beauty is different from pink blossoms, i.e., freshly gorgeous!!   

The following are the cherry blossoms I've enjoyed this spring. If you want to see the differences between them, see these posts, too!!

え~😲!黄色い桜ってあったんですか!全く知りませんでした。御衣黄です。名前の由来は色が貴族の衣服の色に似てるからだそう。

花弁に黄色のカロテノイドと緑色のクロロフィルを含む葉緑体を持つため、黄色・黄緑・緑色系の花を咲かせます。しかも散る頃には花の中心部が赤くなって、黄、緑、赤のコントラストがきれい!八重咲きですがピンクの花とは違う趣です。

この春愛でた桜を挙げてみました。ご興味ある方は是非クリックして違いを楽しんでみてください!
