Pink Sea. Pink Snow

The rites of spring are greener grass and trees with leafs and flowering blossoms.  Several years after my wife and I purchased our house, we planted two Quanson Cherry Trees between the sidewalk and curb in front of our First Avenue home.

The trees have grown and put out a tremendous number of flowers.  They are now at their peak.  When you look down our block from Broadway you see a sea of pink.  In several weeks, the flowers will fall and create several inches of pink snow.

If you have the spirit for a flowering tree, it will create a colorful spring and get prettier each year.
