It’s springtime in Nagoya, too. However, according to the weather report, the weather is going to get colder once more before it really starts to get warm. Unlike Hitachi, the cherry trees haven’t bloomed here yet because most of them are “someiyoshino,” but you can see magnolia trees in bloom here and there. The white blossoms are large and look like tulips, so these trees are sometimes called tulip trees. They look especially beautiful against the blue sky. The spring has lots of flowering plants, but I think that trees that blossom before their leaves come out are really special. These include plum trees, magnolias, and cherry trees.
