Cherry Blossoms in Vancouver

            The Cherry Blossom tree is native to Japan where there are over 100 varieties.  Most have flowers that are light pink or white in color but dark pink, yellow and even green blossoms exist.  

Most of the flowers bloom in either early or late Spring.  However, some extreme varieties bloom in autumn or even winter.  Most are 5 petaled species but some have more, and it is those with more that tend to bloom later.

Cherry blossoms are probably the most popular Japanese flowers and one of the most loved flowers in the whole world. Japan has over 200 cherry blossom varieties of which the most popular is the Somei Yoshino.

 It’s a single-flowering type with five pale pink petals that blooms in less than a week and make up 80 percent of the cherry blossom trees in the country.

Vancouver, British Columbia, is famous for its thousands of cherry trees (estimated 50,000) lining many streets and in many parks, including Queen Elizabeth Park and Stanley Park. 

Vancouver holds the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival every year. With multiple varieties and a temperate climate, they begin to bloom in February yearly and peak in April. 

The Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival is an annual spring festival held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to celebrate the beauty of Vancouver’s cherry trees. The festival’s fundamental objectives includes public education through seasonal, cherry-themed, citywide viewing programs, musical performances, and fine art and craft exhibitions. It enables Vancouverites and those in surrounding areas to appreciate the beauty of cherry blossoms.
