Prunus serrulata (Japanese flowering cherry)
The term 'Japanese flowering cherry' is complicated. Most of the flowering cherry trees you see are complex cultivars and they don't produce edible fruit because they have been selected, purely on the basis of their 'prettiness', for hundreds of years. On Saturday, I went to the Sakura Days Festival at the Van Dusen Botanical Garden in Vancouver but it was quite crowded and there were simply not enough cherry trees for my liking. However, I found this beautiful, highly-doubled specimen a few blocks away and I was delighted.

Magnolia campbellii (Campbell's magnolia)
Campbell's magnolia is one of the earliest magnolias to bloom and like the star magnolia (M. stellata), it is a harbinger of spring. This plant is native to sheltered valleys in the Himalayan mountains and is unusually cold tolerant. What a pleasure on a sunny, spring morning, to see a pink magnolia and a blue sky together.
