Shadow Shot Sunday

The Brooklyn Botanic Garden's world-class bonsai
collection includes about 350 trees, with 30 or
so on display at any one time. This lovely Japanese
apricot (Prunus mume)—though the flowers are usually
called plum blossoms—is a mid-winter bloomer.

  2. There's {apparently!} an extensive collection of bonsai at our Brisbane Botanical Gardens. My sister and her family are well acquainted with it, so I really should toddle out there and have them give me their own private tour sometime. These blooms are lovely, Alexa.
