    Here is a somewhat ungainly-looking 'Shirotae' that is opening its flowers early. It's on the corner of a row of five historical houses on Helmcken at Richards.

    The David Lam Park Akebono are looking spectacular. Try to catch them while the weather is good!

    Finally had access restored so will be doing multiple posts showing the progress of the earliest blooming akebono downtown at Jardines Lookout near the VPL Central Branch over the past few weeks to today when they are nearing the end.

    These are the blossom buds back on March 5. First signs of spring when it was full on winter everywhere else downtown.

    Two weeks later, the Jardines Lookout Akebono started to blossom while everywhere else was still quite dormant - Coopers Park, Marinaside Seawall, most of David Lam Park.

    Here are the still mostly dormant trees in Coopers Park, Marinaside Seawall and David Lam Park while the Jardine Lookout trees were starting to blossom on Mar 18-20.

    Two weeks later on April 5-7, these akebono at Jardines Lookout were in full blossom. Earliest this year in Yaletown. (all done today April 16 though).
