Higan Cherry

Calling all spring lovers! It looks like we might be seeing our first glimpse of the blossoms ahead of us. In Court 6 we can find a few blooms on the ‘Autumnalis’ Higan Cherry. They begin flowering in early spring but a few warmer days recently resulted in the pretty petals seen here. We will be sure to look out for other early bloomers when we are Out and About.

P.S. This was written before the 2/19 snowstorm; talk about ironic!
