Rare green cherry blossoms are turning heads in Guiyang, capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province. Blooming along Ruijin South Road near Zhucheng Square, these unusual flowers have attracted crowds of locals eager to take pictures and soak in the beauty.

Also known as prunus serrulata "Ukon", this special late-blooming variety from the Rosaceae family features cup-shaped petals in a soft blend of pale green and pink. Their delicate, translucent glow in the sunlight makes them stand out from other cherry trees, earning them the nickname "the panda of cherry blossoms" for their rarity and unique charm.
