Cold scarlet cherry blossoms bloom

DSC03726RS'G.jpg "Kanhizakura (Kanhizakura)" planted on the "Sakura promenade" along Harumi Triton Square and the Asashio Canal is beginning to bloom.

Also known as "Hikanzakura (Hikanzakura)".

At once Japanese white-eye is coming to suck the nectar.

It is a warm-area cherry tree native to Taiwan and southern China. Along with its characteristic flower color and flower appearance, it is very noticeable because it blooms ahead of ordinary cherry blossoms in early spring, still cold.

The flower color is bright scarlet. The calyx tube and the sepals are the same color, do not open flat, and are bell-shaped, with a bird-like flower.

Even when scattered, the petals do not flutter like Yoshino cherry tree, and the flowers fall down.

The flower language of Kanhizakura, which blooms dignifiedly under the cold sky, is "Glossy Beauty".

I don't lose in terms of fancy, even if I give it one step to Yoshino cherry tree.
