Cherry blossoms and a Hanshin Bus.

Cherry blossoms and a Hankyu train.
The correct answer is a. 5 varieties \(^o^)/
In an article from December, there was a vote to choose a nickname for the fifth variety, and the nickname has now been decided \(^o^)/
It’s now called “Miya no Hina-zakura”!!!
This was also the name that came in first in the Nishitsu survey ヽ(^o^)丿
Quoted from Kobe Shimbun NEXT
It’s such a cute cherry blossom 😍
“Miya no Hina-zakura”, which can even be grown in a pot, is planned to go on sale as seedlings from next fiscal year onward, so that’s something to look forward to \(^o^)/
You might even be able to enjoy cherry blossom viewing from your balcony!
By the way… the names of the other four varieties are:
“Shukugawa Mai-zakura,” “Nishinomiya Gongen-daira-zakura,” “Imazu Beni-kanzakura,” and “Koshimizu Hayazaki” (*^^)v

Talking about cherry blossoms really makes you look forward to spring (*^^)v
