I happened to be in Wahiawa again today. It seems that what I saw last week and this Sunday was only the beginning of the blooming cycle, as the trees that featured prominently in the last entry were just about at their peak. More of the trees that were bare had sprouted flowers, but were still not fully involved. I’m thinking this weekend is going to be about the best. I actually saw a couple of “secret trees” that were in full bloom, and even several that were tapering and actually had already gone to fruit! When I drove by previously, I didn’t even notice the flowers on the trees at the Wahiawa Hongwan-ji. It could have been the lighting, tunnel vision, or not even expecting there to be cherry trees that far downhill. Those also look like they’ve been there a while, as the trees have already thrown out a good head of new spring leaves.
Thanks, Lorrie for showing me around Wahiawa!

The Lorrie Trolley is available anytime!
Don’t forget we need to get a long lens for pics of the tree between the back of Wahiawa Botanical Garden and the house!
