The street trees on Matsuya Street, dogwood, were introduced last year, but this year there was a gap in flowering time depending on the individual due to the irregular climate 
in early spring, and some are still flowering during GW.
dogwood is the sixth most common street tree managed by Chuo-ku.
By the way, No. 1 to No. 5 are Suzukakenoki, willow, ginkgo, cherry, and maple in order (as of April 6, 2016)
During the Taisho era, Japan presented cherry blossoms to the United States, and the United States gave thanks to the white dogwood, and a few years later, a red dogwood was given, and a flower language of dogwood called "return".
In addition to "return," dogwood's flower language also says "glamorous love" and "Please accept my thoughts."
dogwood's petals are actually leaves called bracts, but white and pink petals are very beautiful and refreshing during this fresh green season.
