I stand corrected. Someone else identified the early blossoming trees as plum so I went with that. Mea culpa lol

It's cool, I just get picky over these things.

You've definitely been seeing plum blossoms/japanese apricots blooming the past few weeks. They're on their way out now, and these Okames are just coming in. There can be a bit of overlap so sometimes its easy to mistake one for the other.

I believe another way to tell the difference is that plum blossoms are fragrant while the cherry blossoms have no smell.
