Reader Rock Gardens

So yesterday on our meet up with Pam, @pamfromcalgary, she took us to the Reader Rock Gardens which is a wonderful place. Because it is early in the season not all of the flowers are in full bloom but we did come across some wonderful flowers. Came across these. So now I am calling on you flower experts to help identify these

[Pat Knowles]

Just stunning Rob....lovely profusion of blossom!!

[Lynne]

I was going to guess Red Bud but I don't think that is it. Beautiful tree, though.

[Kim]

I don't know what the blooms are but the are lovely and plentiful. Beautiful capture.

[Sian B]

lovely shot.

[bruni]

Nice clusters of pink. name? I've no idea.

[Sandra]

great shot

[Tony]

Beautiful capture, such an overwhelming display of pink blossom.

[june milner]

Might it be an ornamental Japanese cherry?
The name doesn't affect their beauty.

[Nancy]

Very beautiful pinks!:)

[Kerri]

Beautiful

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Beautiful!

[Lisa Pouncy]

I have to agree with June and say ornamental cherry blossom. We have several of these trees in our front garden. Beautiful capture of the beautiful blossom xx

[Nikki]

oh beautiful flowers! you'll have to check back at the gardens to see what else blooms!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Beautiful blossoms. Such a pretty pink color.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It looks like a cherry tree to me too- but I couldn't tell you what kind so the others are probably on to something! Lovely shot!

[KWind]

I feel like I'm right inside! Great colours.

[june milner]

@bkbinthecity You can see why the Japanese have a National day of cherry blossom when they all go out and admire the blooms and sit under the trees and picnic.

[Sandi]

I think they have the right idea... :) These blossoms set a lovely tone for Spring. Brian, I am so sorry if I accidentally called you by the wrong name (Bob) at one point. Was I thinking of Elizabeth's kitten? Ooops! :( I am glad to know your first name. :)

[Fisher Family]

A beautiful blossom shot - much of the blossom around here seems to have been lost after eavy rain a few days ago.

Beautiful tree!

[Darlene]

What a beautiful shot of these pink flowers. Our flowers have come and gone on the trees here. Lack of rain has fields brown and not green. It is nice to enjoy your Spring via your photos.
