May 15, 2012. The festival is over, but there a still a few 'Shirofugen' blossoms around. These were white when they opened, but now they're very pink. Unless you're looking at them at SFU - those should be opening now and will be white. You can check our festival map for locations of these cultivars.

Note the links to our UBC Botanical Garden Forums, where the festival's Cherry Scouts make their reports, and where Cherry Scout Co-ordinator Wendy Cutler has made comments this year on the blooming progress in the Vancouver Cherry Blog.
