Beautiful cherry blossoms and magnolias have bloomed across Montreal (PHOTOS)
Gorgeous bursts of pink hues have taken over the neighbourhoods of Montreal as cherry blossoms and magnolias are in full bloom.
The springtime trees are remarkably similar and they bloom at the same time which can make it difficult to distinguish one from the other.
According to The Weather Network, there are a few key differences, mainly the number of petals, the size of the flowers, and their shape.

Regardless of what you’re looking at, they’re absolutely gorgeous with Montreal’s landmarks and skyline.
