I see that I have not posted these photos from April 18. Here is the 'Ojochin' at the Cenotaph west of the Aquarium. The 'Shiro-fugen' grove flowers were open enough to attract people to gather underneath them. I expect they would be totally open now. These are from the 18th. I have been checking on the 'Kiku-zakura' on Robson Street at Gilford, on my way into Stanley Park. From the 18th: From the 20th, at the Easter Parade I led for the VCBF, almost all flowers now almost open, so a day or two before peak bloom.
A few pix from Wendy's Easter Parade walk: Mostly 'Kanzan', one with a branch of a Prunus Avium making it look two-tone, all around Bute/Comox/Nelson And one 'Ichiyo", in the lane by Nicola & Nelson
