High Park Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom

Hey everyone, welcome back to Sakura Watch and this is my first visit to the full bloom on May 9th, 2018.

Large crowds began to fill the park early in the morning, and parking lots full well before noon.

After months of frustratingly cold weather, the anticipation of spring and long wait was finally over! Blossom enthusiasts making the journey to High Park today, were welcomed with the beautiful visual spectacle of seeing ALL the cherry blossom trees with 90 – 100% open blossoms.

The bloom also set the stage for an interview with Karen Johnson of CBC News Toronto and the weather couldn’t have worked out any better! Here’s Karen and I by the blossoms.

After a few disappointing years with either little or no blossoms to view, 2018 redeemed itself, and proved to be a great comeback year with the sakura trees looking much fuller and brighter.

Serene and fluffy clouds of white blossoms floated above smiling faces all along the meandering High Park Trail down towards Grenadier Pond.

Unfortunately, the days of full bloom viewing is cut short this year due to potential rainfall. The hope is that the rain on Thursday may be light enough to allow the blossoms to survive until Friday to gain at least 2 more days to enjoy the bloom.

Then looking towards Saturday, larger amounts of rain will likely knock down many of the blossoms, which will disappoint many people’s Mother’s Day weekend plans.

On a brighter note, at least the High Park Zoo Llamas got their chance to take in the blossoms as well. You heard right – Llamas were enjoying the cherry blossoms.
