{Our Somei Yoshino Cherry in Bloom}

Love to show you our one surviving Somei Yoshino Cherry in Bloom. We also once had a Taiwan cherry or Prunus Campanulata, but we lost that one and another Somei Yoshino Cherry. Sad to see such lovely Flowering Trees die.
Lots of petals are already floating on the pond...
Through the blossoms you also see our Acer Negundo Kelly's Gold and our Japnese Red Maple trees with the newest bridge to the right...
We were so happy to see those blossoms as we did have icicles on this very tree in January! If you want to see some gorgeous photos from our Somei Yoshino Cherry in Bloom, please do click here: {Our Japanese Somei Yoshino Cherry in Bloom + Hummingbird Hawk Moth}

  5. Oh the joy of spring and flowers blossoming ... They are so gorgeous! I remember back home there are 3 huge cherry trees - fantastic when they blossom - but only for a very short time.. Sending you big hugs from India dear Mariette:-) So happy we have connected.-)

    1. Dearest Jim,
      Oh sure, when it comes to pay-back time in spring; it is all worth the hard work!
      However short lived as yesterday the last petals got knocked off by heavy rains and thunderstorms. We got the photos as memories...
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  8. Good Morning Mariette, It is so lovely to be treated to the wonderful sight of your Somei Yoshino Cherry in flower. The flowers are so delicate and I feel sure, that as the blossoms fall to the ground, it looks as if there is a light covering of pink snow. The Japanese Red Maple planted in the background looks a lovely height and the colour is stunning.
    I love Spring, when all the plants and trees come back to life after a long winter.... it always feels like a new beginning in the garden.
    Have a lovely week.
    Best Wishes to you.

  14. Liebe Mariette,
    wenn auch nur kurz, so entzücken uns die Blüten in jedem Jahr
    wieder aufs Neue. Die Eiszapfen auf dem Baum sind spektakulär.
    Einen schönen Abend wünscht Dir

  15. That is a beautiful cherry tree. And such a sight for sore eyes here. We still have snow in our parts and Spring is just now slowly waking up. I can't wait to see flowers again. Deb (Ontario, Canada)

  21. Dearest Mariette,
    I am so glad your cherry trees have bloomed after the winter they suffered through. Cherry trees have always had a special meaning for me as I was born in Washington, D,C. when the cherry trees were in bloom.
    More rain, but it'a going to clear and be up in the sixties later today.
    Enjoy the day............*s*

  23. Your cherry tree blooms are so pretty Mariette. I also have a cherry tree but as of yet it's still too cold for it to bloom.

  24. Liebe Mariette,
    ganz wunderbar!
    Bei uns wird es nun auch langsam Frühling, obwohl gerade ein ziemlicher Regenschauer auf uns niederprasselt.
    Liebe Grüße!

  25. You have so many beautiful flowers! For the moment I'm a bit tired. The cat's and trying to help them out take a lot of my time but I'm trying.

  26. That's a beauty!!! I am pleased it has survived your icy winter!!!
    Is this only a decorative tree, Mariette? Or you get edible cherries from it???
    Many hugs!!

      No this Japanese cherry is only for its incredible blossoms as it bears no fruits!
