I think its time to bump this thread in preparation for the 2011 episode of cherry blossoms in high park, and the insanity we know will ensue.

If anyone sees any information on the cherry blossoms in Niagara, can they let me know?

Just came back from there today, nothing blooming yet. Ice on the river still hasn't broken yet though. The mist and winds where horrible.

According to the High Park Nature Centre on facebook, none spotted yet.

Quote from the facebook page:
"Still no cherry blossoms! Checked our records and we had full blooms on April 19th last year. Did you photograph the cherry blossoms last year? Be sure to add them to our Flickr pool!"

Well, two links. First Japanese one from the 27th and the English one from the 28th. Both show that it's definitely not ready yet. Maybe sometime during next week to maybe next weekend?

Whoops, the last two pics in the above link is UofT and not High Park...which explains why there is a little more 'pink' in their buds (they seem to bloom earlier than High Park).

Hmm...saw a pic (but can't find the link anymore) but the cherry blossoms in Kariya Park in Mississauga (by Square One) seems to be blooming or starting to bloom, pink in any case. I never been there so have no idea how many trees they have etc.

I was there today. The buds are fully developed and ready to pop, but nothing yet. May start early in the upcoming week.

Was there at 9 am this morning to check on their status. Definitely ready to go for this weekend. Not that many people this morning but I expect it to be really crazy this weekend!!

Went there last night. Not a whole lot of people and not a whole lot of blossoms as well. :) I had a great time though.
