Baby Kirschblüte (Baby Cherries Jubilee)

Baby Kirschblüte was sold in German speaking countries in around 1988. She was never sold outside this region, making her especially sought after (although she does not seem to be uncommon in those areas). She was sold with a bottle and a ribbon, but no other accessories. The necklace shown in the picture above is not hers (I just like giving my baby ponies necklaces). Her name is the same as her mother's name in Germany, and means Cherry Blossom.

When Baby Kirschblüte was first talked about online, there was a lot of confusion about her release area, and she was listed as a UK baby, but she was definitely not available over here (sadly). Although she is generally called a 'German' baby, mine came in a trade from Austria back in around 1999, and she was definitely sold there too.

Baby Kirschblüte's Character

German is not my best language skill, but the below is Baby Kirschblüte's backcard story, and I think the gist of it is that she's gathering the prettiest cherry blossom flowers and making them into garlands for a parade, along with Baby Bienchen and Baby Zitrönchen, who turn up to help her. This is also in keeping with adult Cherries Jubilee's story and association with the Cherry Blossom parade. If someone would like to translate the story properly for me, please get in touch :)
