The pink one is 'Kanzan', the white one is where the root stock of an old tree has overtaken the graft stock and grown into a tree in its own right.

...and one more photos to complete my shots of #Vancouver posted over the last three days. This photo was taken early Monday morning in the typical Vancouver pouring rain and shows our Porter Airlines Embraer E195-E2 #airliner at the gate, ready to load for the trip home, just before boarding. However, as always, up at cruising altitude the sun was shining!
Another view of the #Vancouver outer harbour from the Cypress Bowl lookout, about 2,000 feet up. This shows Stanley Park and the downtown core.
A view of the #Vancouver skyline and inner harbour from the Cypress Bowl lookout, about 2,000 feet up.
Many of the #sailboats in the #Vancouver outer harbour were in very poor shape, like this one with shredded sails.
This is Ron Basford Park on Granville Island in #Vancouver, the site of the wedding we attended there.
While in #Vancouver we did a trek to the Mt Seymour Demonstration Forest to do a short hike up there. I have never seen more moss anywhere else.
We dropped by the artificially-cooled #skating rink in Lonsdale in #Vancouver, but it was all melted.
Also seen in False Creek in #Vancouver, a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 389 sailboat named Ondine. This is another modern #boat.
Seen in False Creek in #Vancouver, a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 349 Limited Edition #sailboat. This was one of the newer and nicer #boats.
and what does Granville Island in #Vancouver do about the gull and pigeon problem? This is Katelyn West and her Harris hawk. Together they dissuade the gulls. Now if we could just get the humans to stop feeding them.
