Cerasus x Kanzakura 'Kawazu-Zakura'　河津桜

Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。

They're Cerasus x kanzakura 'Kawazu-zakura' blossoms in the garden of the Parliamentary Museum Tokyo. They're the first blossoms I've seen this year (excluding, of course, Cerasus subhirtella (miq.) or winter cherry, which is in bloom from October through to March)!!

Kawazu cherry, a crossbreed of Oshima cherry (Prunus speciosa) and Taiwan cherry (Prunus campanulata), is named as such because it was first found in 1972 in Kawazu town, Shizuoka prefecture (Source: Kawazu town tourist association). Kawazu cherry trees blossom from early February to March, a little earlier than other cherry trees. A festival of the blossoms is held in the town every year during that month.

I enjoyed the following cherry blossoms last year. I'm very happy that another cherry has been added to my list😊:
