Grandview-Woodland

Sunny came back to see the Kiku-zakura. 2 weeks later for the previous post, same location.

 

Sunny took these Kiku-zakura in 2019 same location. They were so coloful, that is why she wanted to come back and checked, but no luck. Obviously, the weather played an important role.

 

Thanks, Janice. That's interesting to see the difference. If we didn't know better, we might even think they were different trees. How did they get so dark, anyway? They're not that deep colour when they're new.
She did get a photo this year that I think was worth the trip - the second photo (posting #151), showing in one photo, right next to each other, both the phylloid (leafy) pistils on the original flower and the sepals on the new second-story flower.
