I have shown the landscape of the Hitsujiyama Koen but I did not include the close-up of the shiba-zakura flowers. I was thinking about having a separate post about them. Since Terri was asking about the flowers and I think most of you are interested in seeing the pictures too, I am making this post earlier than I have planned just to show you how they look like. They look very similar to the sakura flowers.

Someone brought these teddy bears for the outing, so I just took advantage of it.

Each of the flower is about the size of a Malaysian 20 Sen coin.

wow, thank u ck for ur quick response! er..they don't look at all like sakura blossoms. i'd say more like cosmos or daisies bc they r single-whorl. but their colors n simplicity make them beautiful! i feel like i'm living in Japan thru u.
Hi Terri, you are very welcome! There are a few types of single-whorl sakura blossoms, in which these shiba-zakuras look quite like them. I have the different types of sakura blossom posted up in Sakura! Sakura! Sakura! :)
