Sprung!
On a recent visit to Wave Hill in the Bronx, I witnessed the most extraordinary thing: cross-pollination between a woman and a flowering cherry tree.

Alas, two adolescent interlopers came upon the scene and frightened the young woman away. (As they approached, it seemed as if they were trying to look up her skirt!) No fool she, the lass quickly took her leave.
The doofs sat in the exact same spot but, the tree just ignored them.
