The life cycle of a cherry, captured in photography. 🍒 Every cherry begins as a flower. In spring, buds open into delicate blossoms, attracting bees and other pollinators that help transfer pollen between flowers. After successful pollination and fertilization, the petals fall away and the flower’s ovary develops into a tiny green cherry. The flesh expands around a hardening stone that protects the seed inside. During ripening, the fruit softens, sugars accumulate, and its colour changes. Depending on the variety, ripe cherries can be yellow, bright red, or deep burgundy. That fruit is the result of weeks of development, starting with a small blossom. 🌸 #cherry #fruit #flower #nature #fy
