Autumn cherry blossoms have begun to appear at Chenshan Botanical Garden.
The cherry blossoms are pink and white in color, and their pink hue is lighter than spring varieties of the flower.
They are the results of plant hybridization.
Compared with spring varieties, the number of autumn blossoms is much fewer, but their flowering period is longer, said Yu Lixia, a botanical expert from the garden.
The blossoming period will last until November and December, according to Yu.
More than 300 varieties of water lilies are also in full bloom at the garden.
