"Genpei Momo" planted in front of Aioi Bridge Minamizume, a complex facility "Aioi no Sato" at the southern end of Ishikawajima Park, which was expanded and maintained in 2007, blooms.
It is a kind of Hana peach, a deciduous shrub of rose family, improved for ornamental use.
The origin of the naming is that the seeds that bloom red and white (in addition, light red, middle spots / squeezing) flowers on a single tree are mixed with the color of Genji's flag "white" and the color of the Heike flag "Red". It is said that it was parable in the battle of Genpei".
It is uncertain where and how red, light red, white, and spot flowers bloom, and it seems that the appearance differs every year.
A gorgeous double flower figure with the mystery of nature.
It brings out the atmosphere of spring.
