摄于江西南昌农大校园的桃园。
本来应该说俺今年是桃花运的, 但是我在蜜州没有看到桃花(因为校园的桃花比较远, 打电话问朋友时, 已经错过)。 所以桃花今年只看到一次。
应该是梨花运, 樱花运。 因为这2个在蜜州看一次, 南昌又重复一次。 这里梅花还在开! 但是没有发现蜜蜂。
I left Michigan March 30th, right after most of the cherries were gone
and pears were still blooming. I did not check the apples but they must
be blooming since some crabapples were blooming. I was lucky this year
since Michigan was about 3-4 weeks ahead of schedule. But here in China,
they were 2-3 weeks behind. This allowed me to see cherries and pears
blooming all over again (although I tried to shoot peach flowers in
Michigan and missed it), while normally I would have missed both (too
early when I left Michigan and too late when I got here).
I was working day and night on manuscripts but I did manage to escape,
after lunch, to visit a peach garden and a pear one, both part of the
Jiangxi Agricultural University.
April 2, 12:40 (I forgot to adjust my camera time, so it shows the old
Michigan time before the clock was “sprung ahead” (i.e. shown as April
1, 23:40). Nanchang, Jiangxi, China (28.46º N, 115.49 º E) .
1. Peaches seems to be in peak bloom.
2. Part of a tree, the “bokeh” of defocused background flowers make it nicer looking.
3. Closeup of two flowers. Some are more pink, others whiter. Not sure if it is age of the flowers or different varieties. But the color variation among these two flowers (left one is whiter) suggest colors change with flower ages.
4. Apis cerana (the Eastern hive bee, or the Asian honey bee) foraging on peach flowers.
5. Apis cerana working on peach flowers. It seems to be working for pollen.
6. Another shot.
7. Apis mellifera (the Western hive bee, or the Western honey bee), also working on peach flowers.
