Winter sakura

While walking to the coffee shop during my son's ballet lesson, I walked past a flowering tree.  Surprised, I stopped and gazed at the cheerful blooms.  I have heard of fuyuzakura (winter cherry blossoms), but I don't think I've ever seen them for myself.

I've heard that there are some beautiful places to go and see fuyuzakura.  I am thinking I need to go see one of those places very soon.
