Pink Delphinium! The Adorable "Sakurahime" Flower That Resembles Cherry Blossoms!

Flowers That Look Like Cherry Blossoms＊

Have you ever seen this flower that looks like a cherry blossom...?

This flower is a delphinium.

It's a cute variety called "Sakurahime" ♡

When you think of delphiniums, you might picture blue flowers, but...

There are also pink delphiniums! ♡

A Delphinium Developed in Ehime Prefecture Over 11 Years ♡

This pink delphinium "Sakurahime" was developed by the Ehime Prefectural Agricultural and Fisheries Research Institute over 11 years.

Its pale pink color resembling cherry blossoms is marked by green spots＊

Regular delphiniums have the following features:

✅ The flower color is blue

✅ The stem is thicker

✅ There is a spur (the protruding part above the flower)

✅ They bloom sideways

However,

Sakurahime has been developed with the following features:

✅ The flower color is cherry blossom-like pink

✅ The stem is thinner

✅ There is no spur (the protruding part above the flower)

✅ They bloom upwards

It's a look that you wouldn't recognize as "delphinium" unless someone told you!＊

The flower language includes "delicate maiden," "smiling at you (love smile)," and "hope."

The shipping season for the flowers is from late December to around June. It's a recommended flower for winter and spring brides! ♡

Cute in Bouquets ♡

The wedding bouquet I had prepared for my wedding included "Sakurahime," and it was so cute as the petals swayed gently whenever I moved! ♡

It's wonderful when paired with structured flowers like calla lilies and roses, and it also seems to fit well in a natural bouquet focused on small flowers＊

A Flower Variety to Remember: "Sakurahime" ♡

The new delphinium variety "Sakurahime," which looks like cherry blossoms, really resembles cherry blossoms at first glance!＊

Real cherry blossom bouquets can be painful to hold as they're made of branches, and depending on the branches, they might have fewer flowers, making it difficult to achieve a "full cherry blossom" look.

However, with Sakurahime, you might just be able to create a full cherry blossom bouquet…! The dream expands! ♡
