Wait, ambiguous phrase! (Score: 1) by insulatedkiwi@pipedot.org on 2014-04-16 10:09 (#134) So, does the cherry blossom normally have 30 petals, or does the cherry tree normally have 30 blooms instead of 9?Pedantic minds want to know.

The article is indeed ambiguous about whether the 30 refers to the petals on each flower or the total blooms. Based on the context discussing cross-pollination, it seems the author meant 30 blooms rather than petals, but clarification would be helpful.
