    The three surviving ‘Shosar’ on Minoru and Alderbridge are looking very strong. Just past peak bloom, but still worth a look.

    Just as Anne Eng posted in Riley Park (above) - same deal in Richmond on March 23, 2024.
    ‘Pandora’ are past peak bloom and “radiating changing colour from the inside out”

    This is NOT timely, but I was asked about the trees at Larry Berg Flight Path Park today and found that I never posted the photos I took on March 22 around 7pm, so here they are; this might be considered peak bloom.

    These are shots taken on March 22 on the way to Larry Berg Flight Path Park, Grant McConachie Way and Russ Baker Way. I haven't figured out any good way to photograph these other than passing by in a car, and it wasn't the weather for anything else that evening. We have no recent photos of these, so the photos are just to show that they're still there.

    I noticed this single ‘Autumnalis Rosea’ at 5500 Parkwood Way in Richmond Auto Mall from one block away. It’s certainly not ‘blooming now’ but it was just pink enough to tease me.

    20250119_132244.jpg I'll get back to take some more pictures when it's in full glory, but the little teaser of a 'Whitcomb' on Chatham Street will have to do for the time being....This is them on January 19th but I saw them as early as December 24th. Unfortunately the picture I took that day has no focus on the flowers at all, naught but a blurry mess...
