Kwanzan Cherry Blossom Trees (Prunus serrulata) have a reputation for being some of the showiest cherries at the National Cherry Blossom Festival, with dramatic, deep pink double-blossoms. But Kwanzan cherry trees are eye-catching year-round, with leaves that emerge a rich red-copper hue before taking on a green shade and finally turning yellow in fall.
This is a photo from last year, beautiful cherry trees in the park. Hope this year they bloom like this one soon!
Thank you very much for the kind comments and faves, much appreciated!🙋♀️
My husband and I planted this tree approximately 26 years ago and now it towers over the house and is full of these gorgeous blooms. The blooms tend to hang downwards but that works fine because it's planted on a hill so you look up at them. And then this tree gives twice because when the blooms let go, the ground below turns pink. Have a blessed day everyone.
It's only early February but feels like Spring. The temps have been 20 to 30 degrees higher than usual. No snow, but thunderstorms with buckets of rain! So here's some Cherry blossoms (from last year) to get you in a Spring state of mind too!
Couldn't resist one more image of these lovely Cherry tree flowers. They won't last much longer between the wind and rain!

Can't wait till the Cherry trees are blooming again, they have such pretty pink flowers. Hello Spring! Goodbye Winter!!! Thanks so much for your kind comments and Faves!
The Cherry trees along the driveway are so lovely, as are the azaleas! If the pollen wasn't so bad I could really enjoy all the Spring beauty! "ah-choo!"!!!

It's been a gloomy and rainy week here but the kwanzan cherry tree outside my office is still providing me with that touch of spring color I need to keep my mood cheery!
Every year I look so forward to the Dogwood trees coming into bloom. I just love them! This one was photographed here at my home with pink Kwanzan Cherry tree and Azalea blooms softly filling in the background.
Ah, Spring has sprung! In between the rain I was able to get this. Have been waiting for some blooming action for awhile!
As you can see, even the limb has moss on it. Not that it rains in Washington State or anything....
This kwanzan cherry tree grows behind my friend Allen’s little bookstore, Books and Other Found Things, in Leesburg, Virginia. In addition to selling used books, Allen was interested in selling and supporting the work of local artists and crafters, and he was one of the first people to help me sell and exhibit my Splotch Monster Island work to the public. I even did my first Splotch Monster-making demo during an April First Friday event, about eight years ago under this tree. It is people like Allen, who believed in and supported my art along the way, who I will always be grateful for, and this tree is forever etched in my mind as a place where new growth and potential began to bloom in unexpected places. #art #artwork #drawing #watercolor #trees #kwanzancherrytree ##growth #nature #natureart #dmvartist #loudouncountyartist #loudounart #artistoninstagram
A slight levels adjustment is all I did to this pretty Kwanzan Cherry tree bloom. The blue in the the background is proof of Carolina Blue skies, which have not been too abundant this spring.
Thanks for viewing.
The Kwanzan Cherry trees are in full bloom here along the driveway and one of my favorites every year. OK, I probably say that every year!
I am having a very, very difficult time behaving myself in the text for the assignment that's due Monday. I wish we could use Lorem Ipsum. It's so much safer. I cannot create a politically correct site. I seriously can't. The process is crippling my spirit. There is no way in hell I would ever use this thing for myself because it in no way represents me - yet it's supposed to be my content :(
This is Kwanzan Cherry blossom. These trees are now in full bloom all around DC.
For this image here, I intentionally over exposed and had some experiment afterwards. Let me know what you think about it...
While those Kwanzan trees are in bloom I'm determined to get them in every self-portrait. I stood in the rain for this. Someone was kind enough to hold an umbrella over my camera so I wouldn't have to rely on gaffer's tape and clamps.
This was naturally occurring. I was deliberately looking for sunlight filtering through the blossoms, searching for sun beams or lens flare or some other unusual light. I found a rainbow instead. What I saw through the viewfinder were pale yellow bokeh dots on the bottom half of the image. Only when I looked at it on my laptop did I notice the pale yellow bokeh-dot-lens-flare-sun-beam-thingy had formed an upside down rainbow across the whole picture.
Right after I took this a huge wall of pollen swept towards us, cutting short Bebe's walk and preventing more photos. Bebe was not happy about her walk being cut short. My husband had to pick her up and carry her back inside because she did that thing where she faces the direction she wants to go and she won't budge until we go in that direction.
I suppose it it looked like this all year I would take it for granted. Maybe. This is at the side of my front yard.
Don't know what kind of flowers these were but the tree was raining pink petals all over everything. I had to take a picture. OK, a lot of pictures.
More Kwanzan Cherry blossoms from my favorite tree. There are Kwazan Cherry trees all over town but my favorite is a huge tree at a Retirement apartment. This pic is from the tree seen below.
The photo was taken several weeks ago; the frame was added yesterday.
These blooms were on a flowering Kwanzan Cherry tree in Ann Arbor. The double flowers created a pink perfusion.

Me: We had a swing?
Mom: Yeah. We had a swing for a while, and the tree-limb broke. Or maybe the larger kids in the neighborhood climbed on it, and they climbed on it and it broke, or I was afraid it would break. OK, now see the little tree in the middle of the fence? That was a Kwanzan cherry tree, like the ones they have in Washington, DC. Now I don't know if you remember how big that tree was...
Me: Oh, I certainly remember. It used to rain down pink petals every spring.
Mom: Yes. Oh, I was a more formal planter in those days. Well, I wasn't that orderly. Most people would just put the same thing in the front and in the back. At least I had different things.
Me: I don't remember this lawn furniture.
Mom: Neither do I. It's so not me. It might've come from when my parents left Elton Street. They might have given it to me then.
Outside St. Thomas on Kingsley St. is this beautiful Kwanzan Cherry Tree; it blooms in spring with these lovely double pink flowers. Hard tp imagine so many individual flowers covering the branches as they do.

I took this shot sometime in the evening when after raining entire day, the rainbow showed up over the beautiful Kwanzan Cherry Trees.
Flowering trees bloom outside St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church on N. State St. in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
