Very pretty. There is one of these on my way to class here on campus and I was excited to see this morning that the first buds are just starting to open.
ReplyDeleteWOW, this would certainly draw your eye up. I bet the bees are buzzing all around this beauty.
ReplyDeleteI love Weeping Cherries. Yours is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd what about your vistas out back? Wow.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I'd love to see the cherry blossom festival in Vancouver. The trees are just so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe you'd ever forget to look up to see this!

P.S. How amazing; word verification never says a word - but this one says 'silly'.
Your tree is gorgeous! It's a magic time of year.
ReplyDeleteThat is just beautiful! I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be hardy in my area, most cherries are not.

How absolutely gorgeous, Phillip! I love that delicate pink colour. They remind me of our apple orchards here in the Annapolis Valley which will be awash with that same blush pink sometime in May.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful against the blue sky! Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt really is Phillip! Did you order the perfect blue sky to go with it! gail
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful canopy of color! My viburnum (don't know species) has a ton of fragrant pink blooms this year--more than ever before. It's heavenly. Looking forward to the Yoshino photos. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteStunning it is! and yeah, I'll stay tuned for the cherries.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter

ReplyDeleteOh, Philip, this is splendid! It's too windy/chilly up here for such beauties, but I sure love yours. Happy spring to you!
ReplyDeleteAaahhmmmmm.... Errrmmm..... Uhhhh.... I can't quite find a word to describe its beauty!
ReplyDeleteYour home is so beautiful but especially now. Hugs to you today. You have convinced me to get a white picket fence. That didn't take much convincing.
