A little cheesy or a lot...

I'll be running into limbs on the lawn tractor come June. Trimming will have to wait until the leaves drop this fall. But I wish these blooms lasted much longer.

Twenty years ago, I took a photo to a local tree nursery, because I had no clue what sort of tree this was. He happily informed me it was a Kwanzan Cherry Tree - grown for its lovely double pink blooms. It's one of the ornamental cherry trees given by the Japanese and grown in DC. I've heard them called everything from apple, crab apple, and pear trees. I found some interesting links about them here - https://tillydesign.com/blog/6-favorite-cherry-blossom-trees/ and here https://www.thisoldhouse.com/gardening/reviews/kwanzan-cherry-trees and a nice video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mM1WPlt6R0
I love the way you captured these gorgeous blossoms and partly framed your lovely home. Although we lived in Japan for ten years, I was not aware of the different varieties. thanks for the interesting links.

I first heard this term on one of your posts a couple of years ago. I love these blooms. I've spotted them here and there ever since I learned the name. Lovely trees
