Auntie Mee's Tea Time

Have a cup of tea over my story.

63. Flowers Season 🌸

In this blog I have mentioned Shinjuku-Gyoen park several times.

I visit this park often, especially in the cherry blossoms’ season.

This park has many kinds of cherry trees, which have flower even after the famous Japanese Somei-Yoshino cherry flower season ends.

This year spring came earlier than usual and Somei-Yoshino trees were at their best in the middle of March.

And now other kinds of cherries are blooming and the park has less people than ever.

So, I think, now is the best season to visit Shinjuku-Gyoten park.

Ukon cherry tree has yellow flowers, which turn reddish now.

Kansan cherry has two colors of flowers on one tree.

Other than cherry blossoms, many kinds of trees are having flowers now, such as dogwood, azaleas, and peonies.

Azaleas and cherry

Peonies are also blooming.

It’s spring 🌸
