cherry blossom in Bath

Prunus 'Ukon'. James Street West, Bath (8th April 2017)

'Ukon' is unmistakable for a day or two when the newly-open blossom is a unique creamy-green colour. Thereafter it is not quite so obvious but it remains a subtly classy tree, distinguishable by the semi-double flowers and the rather noticeable red eye on the blossom as it ages (though be warned, many other cherry blossoms have red eyes too).

Prunus 'Pink Perfection', Canterbury Street, Bath (8th April, 2017)

This is the same tree I photographed in bud last week.

Prunus 'Amanogawa' near Pulteney Road South, Bath (9th April, 2017)

...Actually, this Amanogawa was outside a new-build development on the other side of the railway line, on the footpath leading up to the canal. I would have supplied the street name but Google Maps doesn't know about it yet.

Prunus 'Kanzan' in Victoria Park, Bath (9th April, 2017)

This is the same tree that I photographed in bud last week.
