We have a main street which is planted with double flowered pink Cherries. They are lovely when the bloom. Normally this coincides with the October Long Weekend, which is great, because it coincides with the start of the Springtime in Robertson Festival.
After a warm patch of weather over the last few days, the first flowers opened up today.For the people of Robertson, it is like welcoming back an old friend, to see these lovely flowers opening again.

Looks pretty spectacular although I personally prefer the fruiting varieties.
Ah yes, but the Currawongs and Bowerbirds would just grow fatter than they are already.

You're early. I got seven months to our cheery blossom. This will help waiting.
Lovely flowers and how nice to have them planted along the street. Someone planned well for the future!
Hi Mick
It was indeed a brilliant piece of forethought. Naturally it was all down to a strong-minded individual, a plant enthusiast. The old gentleman moved away from Robertson some years ago, and he died about a year ago.
He also was behind the planting of a Californian Redwood grove in the village, which has now been named in his honour. I wrote him up in May.
Cheers
Denis
