    Jaw-droppingly beautiful Kanzans on 3rd, between Lakewood and Semlin. In the rain.

    Kiki-zakura AND Kanzan on the same street. How lucky can one get? On William, west of Garden.

    If you're feeling sad that the festival is over and there are no cherries to visit, you can always look up 'Kiku-zakura' locations on our festival map and go visit them - they're still covered in flowers, and such beautiful colours. To be sure, they are past their prime, and there are spent flowers on the trees now, but still. They're awesome. These are the ones Willard posted two weeks ago.

    Hidden gem. Fourteen good-looking 'Shiro-fugen' at Salisbury Park. Nice playground, too.

    Found two young 'Whitcomb' doing their best to attract attention on south side of Grant, just east of Clark. Busy intersection.

    'Whitcomb' at McSpadden Park in full bloom today. They are still hanging in there, not even dropping petals.

    'Shirofugen' at Salisbury Park look to be ahead of 2017 for bloom time. See posting #111.

    Yes, though 'Whitcomb' cherries are "always" single blossoms, just five petals, I remember seeing a few flowers like this one on Nanaimo Street one year. Excitement for a cherry geek!

    On William Street/Lakewood, the first Kiku-zakura is starting its bloom on April 21, 2019.

    The Chrysanthemum Cherry is in full glory on William Street, between Lakewood and Garden at April 28, 2019.

    This is what that first Kiku-zakura looks like, a week later from the previous post on April 21. The flowers are growing paler.
    20190428_WilliamLakewood_Kiku-zakura_Eng_4236.jpg 20190428_WilliamLakewood_Kiku-zakura_Eng_4234.jpg

    However, the trees on the Templeton to Garden end of William Street haven't caught up yet and you can still see their little carnation-like buds.
    20190428_WilliamTempleton_Kiku-zakura_Eng_4239.JPG 20190428_WilliamTempleton_Kiku-zakura_Eng_4242.jpg 20190428_WilliamTempleton_Kiku-zakura_Eng_4241.jpg

    Note Kiku-zakura is NOT the same as Kiku-shidare-zakura, which is the Weeping Chrysanthemum-flowered Cherry. Don't wait at VanDusen for the latter to give the two-tone, two-layer look of the Chrysanthemum Cherry.

    After you see Kiku-zakura, it's even harder to be happy with Kanzan.
