What is shown in this coloring page?

Cherries are small, round stone fruits that grow on trees. They come in two main types: sweet cherries, often eaten fresh, and tart cherries, typically used in baking and cooking. They are known for their vibrant red hues, but can also be found in yellow and deep, almost black, shades. The cherry blossom is also celebrated for its beautiful pink and white flowers in spring.
