Autumnalis Rosea

---

Autumnalis Rosea is a cherry tree that blooms in winter in Vancouver.

The pink blossoms are tiny and grow sparsely on the trees. Even during peak bloom (which comes in mid-January), you'll find only a few blossoms on the trees.

The blossoms look like they've just woken up wih "bed hair": their petals curl up.

Photography tip: make sure you have a good zoom on your camera, autumnalis rosea cherry blossoms are very tiny and high up in the tree.

Favourite locations: Dr. Sun-Yat park, Georgia street (between Wilingown and Holdom.
