Is this normal spring growth?

Temps have been in the 50s and 60s the last week and I’ve noticed some lighter foliage on my Shimpaku. Little white flowers are also coming out around the entire tree. Any advice or reassurance would be great. Thanks.

looks normal to me
Yes, that’s what I was thinking but I’m so new to this that I wasn’t positive. I jumped into buying an expensive tree before I was really ready to. Now I’m responsible for the health of this tree so I’m a little stressed about it. Thanks for your response.

Perfectly normal spring growth. Lighter green shoots will darken as they mature. White 'flowers' take most new juniper owners by surprise first time round.

Thanks for the reply. Glad to hear that my Shimpaku looks healthy. Yes, the “flowers” freaked me out a little at first. They looked like the tips had been burnt or weee dying.
