This is such a lovely invitation, Liz! And of course you introduced me and many others to the Japanese word hanami. (About which I am trying to stir curiosity in our three marvellous granddaughters.)
Currently my eyesight is poor and as a result so is my photography. But I'd like to encourage others to pick up the challenge. How wide is the "neighbourhood"?
I have a worry that the pressure (and temptation) to build/extend/infill/demolish and over-tower every scrap of land may be leading to serious loss of tree cover in back gardens and elsewhere. Might we end up with a sort of "Potemkin" illusion when adding street trees gives a false impression of steady progress. But concealing an overall loss?
In effect making street trees like Joni Mitchell's Tree Museum. Prices updated in 2007 as you know.
They took all the trees
Put ’em in a tree museum
And they charged all the people
An arm and a leg just to see ‘em’.
I was filling my boots at the wonderful Glebe Nursery this afternoon and dropped in to the walled garden at Forty Hall. It's not local but it gives good blossom. A few phone pics.
Not sure there's a better cherry blossom display than the road i live in cecile Park.
