Chinese flowering crabapples bloom again in summer

People visiting the Shanghai Gongqing Forest Park are surprised to find that the Chinese flowering crabapples are again in full bloom.

Chinese flowering crabapples usually bloom in spring. It is quite rare to see them blossom in summer, especially when the weather is scorching. Due to the high temperatures, the petals are nearly white in color instead of purple, making the blossoms more adorable.

Because of the lack of rain in spring, some flower buds stopped blooming while in others, flowering was delayed. As summer arrived, these Chinese flowering crabapples obtained sufficient nutrients and were fully nourished. That is why some Chinese flowering crabapples in the park are in bloom again. In addition, experts also told the reporter that the flowers may also bloom again in autumn if they are handled with special care.
