We’re approaching the end of the season with the late blooming cherries.
Kanzan petals are almost gone and Shirofugen are starting to lose their petals already.
In another week, all that will be left to see will be pink ‘Shiro-fugen’ blossoms, with green leaves now. They’ll look a little like ‘Kanzan’, but not as bright and with longer stems. And the flowers will look kind-of past their prime.
Then in another three weeks or so, when those flowers are still hanging on, you’ll see what look like little green leaves coming out from the middle of the flowers. That will be the green leaf-like (phylloid) pistils starting to grow.
Then in June, you’ll see a few new white flowers on those trees, and still quite a few of the pink flowers remaining. You can stay interested in those trees almost till the end of June.
