Automnalis rosea

Wendy Cutler posted on Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival’s timeline
“The ‘Autumnalis rosea’ cherries are opening now – they’re tiny, and not really a splash of colour, but they’re really there. They’re the tiny pick flowers growing on trees with one trunk. The tiny pink flowers on shrubs with lots of trunks are Viburnums. You can find the cherries on our festival map at http://www.vcbf.ca/cherryviewing/maps.”Photo: The 'Autumnalis rosea' cherries are opening now - they're tiny, and not really a splash of colour, but they're really there.

Don’t leave your car parked under cherry trees

Cherry blossoms and leaves covering a car in Vancouver, BC

I always thought it would be fun to live in these cherry tree planted streets in Vancouver… except for cherry petals and leaves clinging to your car.  Oh well, better this than snow, I say.

Fallen but not forgotten

Fallen cherry blossoms and cherry leaves in a

While admiring cherry trees in their full autumn splendor last week, I was surprised by all the similarities between these two seasons in the life of a cherry tree: how the blossoms (in spring) and the leaves (in autumn) end up covering the sidewalk and the street. How beautiful it looks and also how deadly slippery the blossoms and leaves when wet.  (I don’t think I’ll ever forget slipping on a carpet of petals, two years ago, during a rainstorm, and almost breaking my leg).
