The overall bloom is around 70% right now.
It looks like this weekend could be full bloom \u2728<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The central area near the main gate is almost fully in bloom,
while the outer areas need a little more time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the rare and special varieties to look for this year is
\u201cKano Gyokuch\u014d Taikaku.\u201d \ud83c\udf38<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This unique plum is known for having \u201ca flower inside a flower.\u201d
There are only two trees planted in Osaka Castle Plum Grove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has just started blooming,
and the best viewing time is expected in late February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you manage to spot the \u201cflower within a flower,\u201d
you might get a little lucky \u2728<\/p>\n\n\n
