The
kanhizakura cherry blossom trees were the big draw last week, but in a week or so, people will be coming to view the
yaezakura, signalling the end of
hanami (cherry blossom viewing) season.
You often see birds pecking at the flowers, and now I know why. The sap was practically pouring out of the branches.
This ibis was quite skilled at catching small fish, one after another, oblivious to the man wearing a tracksuit who kept throwing bits of bread at its head. (At Kiyosumi Gardens, you can purchase bird/carp food.)
Another ibis that had decidedly less skill.
I was quite bemused to see the rubber dinghy that gardeners use to get to the island-like spots in the middle of the pond.
Purple and white magnolias, so much less magnificent than at
Shinjuku Gyoen.
A plant I found close to the park that I have not been able to identify.
