Okame Cherry (Prunus Incamp Cv. Okame) オカメザクラ(お亀桜)

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

A flying crow always catches something and so do I. While on a walk in my neighborhood at the weekend, I found this Okame cherry tree, which was in full bloom! I thought at first it was a Kawazu cherry tree. The Kawazu and the Okame cherry trees resemble each other, i.e., blooming earlier with more pink blossoms than other cherry threes but the Okame cherry petals are a little smaller than Kawazu's.

Spring weather is unstable. It was like spring in Tokyo when I took these photos two days ago but rained and snowed yesterday. Most of these blossoms must have fallen. 

The Okame cherry is created by Collingwood Ingram, a British authority on Japanese cherry trees.

犬も歩けば棒に当たる。私は歩いていたらお亀桜に当たりました!。最初、河津桜と思って近づいたら木札に「お亀桜」 やった~!河津桜もお亀桜も早咲きで色が少し濃いのですが、お亀の方が河津より花びらが少し小さいです。

春の天気は変わりやすいですね。東京は一昨日は春の陽気。昨日は雨と雪。ということはこのお亀桜もほとんど散っちゃったんだろうな~。

お亀桜、英国のコリングウッド・イングラムという桜研究家が交配して作った桜です。
