    Benishidare, pink weeping / cascading, unfortunately heavily pruned but still beautiful. In front of Emmanuel Pentacostal Church on Carnarvon & 4th.
    Thanks WCutler for helping identify them.
    On the same street are other trees not yet in bloom ... especially trees surrounding Dorchester House on corner of 4th.

    Kanzan trees @ Fraser Cemetery, 100 Richmond Street, New Westminster, on both sides of the street. Great views of the Fraser River, the Port Mann Bridge, Surrey skyline ... and on clear days, you can see Mount Baker. You can watch the sun rising on the east. If you get lucky with changing weather, you might catch a view of a rainbow :)

    Whitcomb, Fader St off Major St, New Westminster.
    Beautiful blossoms to brighten a cold rainy day.

    I was with @tknd (Taka), and we were surprised but thrilled to see the 'Washi-no-o' in Queen's Park in full bloom.

    Taka remembered liking this branch growing along the ground.

    I didn't remember all this sucker growth on this tree.

    Lone cherry tree in bloom at one of the
    Richmond St cemeteries in New Westminster.

    @wcutler Thank you for identifying the
    cultivar: Washi-no-o.
    The Kanzan trees are not yet in bloom.
