Each bloom appears to be a single flower; in fact, it consists of a mass of small flowers arranged in a cyme (green ), at the centre of an involucre consisting of four large bracts. The bracts - the visual equivalent of petals - are initially white in colour, but eventually develop brilliant scarlet markings towards their tips, before withering and falling away. " Southern Cross" is a garden selection, originating from New Zealand. It makes an outstanding specimen tree for small gardens, with a floral display followed by scarlet coloured fruits and red autumn leaf colours. The picture is of a tree growing in Norfolk UK in June"

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the exquisite beauty of the Conrus kousa Southern Cross in full bloom. Each delicate flower appears as a single entity, but upon closer inspection, reveals itself to be a cluster of small flowers arranged in a cyme formation. At the heart of this floral masterpiece lies an involucre consisting of four large bracts that serve as its visual equivalent to petals. Initially white in color, these remarkable bracts gradually transform into brilliant scarlet markings towards their tips before gracefully withering away. Originating from New Zealand, "Southern Cross" is a garden selection known for its exceptional qualities. It thrives as an outstanding specimen tree within small gardens and offers not only a breathtaking floral display but also bears scarlet-colored fruits and boasts vibrant red autumn leaf colors. The photograph showcases one such magnificent tree flourishing in Norfolk, UK during the month of June. Its captivating presence adds charm and elegance to any landscape it graces. This image serves as both an ode to nature's artistry and an invitation for admirers to immerse themselves in the enchanting world of Cornus Kousa Southern Cross – where every petal-like bract tells its own story amidst lush greenery and blossoming blooms.
