Following Okinawa and Kanto, Kinki also 
has the end of the rainy season, and this year is the season when this flower blooms.
It's a summer flower, Salsberg
I don't usually be aware of the existence of this flowering tree, but in summer it keeps pink and white flowers blooming all the time, so there is a real presence during that period.
Small flowers with shrunk petals are gathered together and blooming like ears.
Around my place of work, trees that bloom pink and white flowers are planted alternately around Tsukiji River Park.
What happened this year, it seems that the white flowers are already in full bloom, but the pink ones are late.
I don't know if this is only around Tsukiji River Park or if the other is the same.
By the way, as of May 8, 2017, there are 35 types of street trees managed by Chuo-ku, 6,816 trees, of which 356 are salsberg.
There are quite a few.
In any case, Salsberg is a flower tree that represents summer.
Last year, here is a blog post introducing Salsberg around Tsukiji River Park. ⇒
