Okame cherry trees look totally different than other cherry trees with their small dark flowers on a long calyx tube. It?s a rare cherry tree in Vancouver so it?s worth a visit. This tree is in Burnaby on Charles street (corner Fell).

The Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival kicked off today with the Cherry Jam, a noon-hour concert at downtown's Burrard SkyTrain station. Of course, the cherry blossoms were there.

The green leaves had started to come out so petals were falling gently on the crowd who was gathered to admire the blossoms.

This was a perfect beginning, considering the the theme of this year's festival is 'Petal by Petal'.

At the entrance of Stanley Park, Akebono trees are in full bloom.

 

At the rose garden in Stanley Park, the Akebono cherry trees (they always seem to bloom last) were full of buds with some open flowers.
