Cherry Tree, my favorite spring flower colors.

Prunus subg. Cerasus contains species that are typically called cherries. They are known as true cherries and distinguished by having a single winter bud per axil, by having the flowers in small corymbs or umbels of several together (occasionally solitary, e.g. P. serrula; some species with short racemes, e.g. P. maacki), and by having smooth fruit with no obvious groove.

If you’re looking to catch the best of it, here are some top spots:

University of Colorado Boulder – Norlin Quad and Old Main light up with soft pink and white blossoms, creating one of the most iconic spring scenes in Boulder.
Pearl Street Mall – A lively downtown setting where spring blooms mix with street performers, shops, and energy.
Harlow Platts Park – A quieter, lakeside escape with beautiful flowering trees and mountain views.
Boulder Creek Path – Perfect for a walk or bike ride alongside blooming trees lining the water.
