Take a moment to rest on the easternmost bench of the small winding path that backs the Winter Garden. Here you will find the delightful Japanese Apricot, Prunus mume 'Omoi-no-mama' just coming into bloom.
Braids of globular buds, held by raspberry coloured clasps of sepals, run down the moss green twigs culminating in lovely peachy-white bowl-shaped blossoms cupping golden stamens.
