Their peak bloom was in April, and tourists&nbsp;were able to see the elusive cherry blossoms&nbsp;on <a href="http://www.nps.gov/cherry/cherry-blossom-bloom.htm">ranger-led walks,&nbsp;from paddle boats and&nbsp;via a cherry web cam</a>. In Japan, where the tourist association publishes <a href="http://www.jnto.go.jp/sakura/eng/index.php">a map showing when flowering has begun</a> across the country, peak bloom came earlier than normal&nbsp;– and petals are already falling. But&nbsp;in Toronto's High Park, where <a href="http://www.highparknaturecentre.com/high-park-cherry-blossom-watch/predicting-peak-bloom/">the nature centre has been counting down the days</a>, the showiest display is&nbsp;expected between May 7 and May 9.</p> <p> And at the University of Toronto? Students, staff, faculty and community members have already been capturing the display and sharing the results on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. The above photo has already received so many "likes" on social media&nbsp;it is close to rivalling <a href="http://news.utoronto.ca/convocation-2014-best-social-media-moments-week-two">last year's Convocation marriage proposal photo</a>.</p> <p> If you would like to add your photos to the collection, use the hashtag #UofT.</p> <p> Below, you can scroll through some of this year's&nbsp;highlights:</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <div class="storify"> <iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="no" height="750" src="//storify.com/UofT/u-of-t-s-cherry-blossoms-2015/embed?border=false" width="100%"></iframe><script src="//storify.com/UofT/u-of-t-s-cherry-blossoms-2015.js?border=false"></script><noscript>[<a href="https://storify.com/UofT/u-of-t-s-cherry-blossoms-2015" target="_blank">View the story "U of T's Cherry Blossoms 2015" on Storify</a>]</noscript></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-home-page-banner field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">News home page banner</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-picpath field--type-string field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">picpath</div> <div class="field__item">sites/default/files/2015-05-05-cherry-blossoms.jpg</div> </div> Tue, 05 May 2015 12:36:29 +0000 sgupta 7000 at
