An indigenous of cherry tree called Omoigawa-Sakura comes into bloom after finishing of general or common cherry blossoms.

私の住んでいる街では、お花見が２度楽しめます。 思川桜という固有種は普通の桜が散った後咲きます。この桜は２種類の桜の交配種で、小山市の市の花です。

This is an image of my most favorite place, especially in cherry blossom season, where is an approach road to the old and historic Buddhism temple.
There are many old cherry trees on both side of approach road

歴史的な古刹への参道で、特に、桜の時期にはもっとも好きな場所のイメージであります。
道路の両側には、古い桜の木が沢山あります。
