The Weather Network has a video of winter snow and hail blizzard conditions in China. Normally, the cherry blossoms fall to the ground/water creating a beautiful pink blanket. Pink petals on the ground is desirable. Pink petals, snow and hailstones is serious. With climate change, the Weather Network is extremely busy - floods in Dubai, snow in China.
Here in Niagara the video says cherry blossoms Niagara and they are showing the Magnolia trees at the Floral Showcase in Niagara Falls. They are beautiful pink, so maybe a good substitute for cherries.
We have more flower festivals in the area on the horizon - not just cherry blossoms. There is a tourist tulip display on Seventh Avenue, just north of Fourth Street. They grew fields of Dahlias last summer - I assume a picked flower crop. They are advertising a tulip festival this weekend. These flower festivals are starting to pop up in Ontario - the one that is best known is in Fenwick - TASC - they are advertising 2 million tulips this year. They open in a week.
Checking the weather forecast, there don't seem to be any blizzards on our horizon. The picture of the Magnolia tree with snow was from 2021 when we did get a snowstorm in April. The sense of movement is created with multiple exposures in camera.
