Hong Kong Flower Appreciation | Tsuen Wan Park's Double Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom

The Hong Kong Flower Show ended last Sunday (19th). Unfortunately, about 20 double-flowered cherry blossoms in the exhibition area only bloomed in the last three or four days of the exhibition period, causing many people to miss their beauty. However, recently, some netizens discovered that at least eight double-flowered cherry blossoms have been transplanted to the Tuen Mun Park under the jurisdiction of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department for replanting, forming a stunning pink cherry blossom forest. It is expected that when the double-flowered cherry blossoms fall, everyone will have a chance to see the beautiful "cherry blossom snow" scene! Recently, some netizens discovered that there were suddenly about eight double-flowered cherry blossoms in Tin Shui Wai Park. As they approached, a pink cherry blossom forest came into view, which was very shocking. It is reported that about 20 double-flowered cherry blossoms were displayed at the Hong Kong Flower Show earlier, but unfortunately they only bloomed gradually in the last three or four days of the exhibition period, and one or two of them were only in the state of 20-30% blooming, which was a pity to discard. Therefore, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department also stated at that time that after the flower show ended, the cherry blossoms in the venue would be sent to parks under the jurisdiction of the department for replanting. Recently, netizens discovered a double-flowered cherry blossom tree in Tianshuiwei Park, which was also marked with a number on the trunk and was cited as being from the same batch as the double-flowered cherry blossoms exhibited at an earlier flower show in Hong Kong. Although some of these double-flowered cherry blossoms have already bloomed during the flower show, they are still very lush in Tianshuiwei Park, with cherry blossoms covering the entire tree! In addition, the double-flowered cherry blossoms usually bloom between February and March each year. As an improved variety of mountain cherry blossoms, their color and flower shape are similar to those of mountain cherry blossoms, but their petals are more complex and have about 14-15 layers. When they wither, the petals of the double-flowered cherry blossoms will loosen and be blown away by the wind, and this phenomenon is called "sakura snow" by the Japanese, which creates a romantic scene. Therefore, if you visit Tuen Mun Park during the day, you may have the chance to see the beautiful "sakura snow" scene. Tin Shui Wai Park Address: No. 6 Tianrui Road, Tianshuiwei, Yuen Long.
