Anyway, the double cherry blossoms are in bloom, I heard these are called Yaezakura.
These are more pinkish and fuller than the cherry blossoms that bloomed earlier in the month.
Most have several clusters on a branch which weighs the branch down a bit.
Still very nice.
Our weather is still cold. Some days we've had sun but most days we've had rain and blustery winds.
The plants on my lanai aren't too happy, the only blooms we had were of two tulips and the cyclamen that blooms without fail every year.
One plant that has been doing well is the cilantro I planted a couple of weeks ago. Can't wait to start using it in salsa or banh mi.
Satoshi's at work today, hope your weekend is going well.
Interesting story about the cyclamen. Good thing Satoshi's mom stopped you guys from giving it to grandma. Woulda been a major faux pas.
ReplyDeletePretty flowers!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, some of the hats were beyond "artistic", they looked crazy! Haha.
Ahah, I totally agree with you about the hats! There were a few that were quite beautiful, but for the most part...what where they thinking??
