Nature never ceases to surprise us with its wonders. We have so far seen flowers that withstand drought and cold, filter toxins in the atmosphere, plants that live off moisture in the air or flowers that bloom at night only. The list can go on, but we will today stop and take a close look at some flowers that grow on tree trunks, an extra proof nature remains as unpredictable as we all know it. The description comes mostly from Ehow.com<\/p>\n
In the spring, Japanese cherry trees come to life with hundreds of small flowers. There are more than 100 types of cherry trees in Japan, according to Japan Guide, and most of them bear petite, five-petaled flowers. However, some species of cherry blossom, known as “yaezakura,” can have up to 100 densely packed petals. Most cherry tree blossoms are white or pink, and Japan Guide explains that some flowers may begin as one shade before turning another. Most cherry tree flowers blossom in the springtime, but some also bloom in autumn and winter, with flowers containing higher numbers of petals typically blooming later.<\/p>\n
