Yesterday I was in the garden putting out Backyard Refuge labels. While coming back from the Cottonwood Gallery, I swung around the back of the waterfall pumphouse in the Japanese Garden. The Yoshino cherry there was in glorious full bloom with petals just beginning to be shed.
When I collected a back branch for the herbarium, I was showered with petals. Sakura fubuki is in progress, "wind blown cherry blossom falling like snow."
Of course, it's not just cherry blossoms falling, the elm seeds are blowing like snow into drifts all across the town.
