Nice proof, beautiful colors.

There are many varieties of Boke. Kang Boke has beautiful scarlet flowers in early spring, but there are also the small crimson Yodo Boke, the red Shu Boke, the large pale pink Canton Boke, the white Sarasa Boke with a red background, and the year-round Changchun Boke. Boke originated in China, and many of the trees planted in gardens today are of the Chinese variety; however, the Boke found in the mountains and fields of Japan is Kusaboke.
