The Bent but not Broken Cherry #ThursdayTreeLove

The cherry tree stands on a median between the sidewalk and a street on the West Side of Binghamton, New York.

Its trunk is twisted.  But once a year, it blooms, with beautiful double flowers, like miniature carnations.

Here's a closer look.

"Persevere against the odds" says the tree.  "Don't be concerned by my age.  Instead, take comfort from my strength."  And finally, one more piece of wisdom:   "There is beauty even in times of stress."

Join Parul and other tree loving bloggers each second and fourth Thursdays of the month for #ThursdayTreeLove.    After you do, could I ask one more favor of you, dear reader?

I jumped the gun and posted a tree post last Thursday, too.  Why not visit it and show some Tree Love to it, too?

I'd love it if you do.

Tomorrow, why not join me for a combination #SkywatchFriday and #GardenBloggersBloomDay?

  1. It's a beautiful tree, Resilient. More beautiful because of its "flaws".
