That Inner Glow
Two Fridays ago, I had to do a little bit of sick visiting, and along the way I chanced upon a whole row of wonderful ornamental Japanese cherry blossom trees in full bloom! The weather wasn't the best that day, however Friday of this week just gone was a beautiful day with blue skies and milder temperatures (although still not warm enough to be without a coat and hat). I decided to revisit the grove of Japanese cherry blossom trees, and whilst I found that many had been destroyed by the rain and hail over the past week, and that the leaves were starting to show through, there were still some beautiful blossoms left, like this one! With the sun shining through it's petal and indeed its very centre, this delicate blossom was so eye catching as it glowed.
A cherry blossom, also known as a Japanese cherry or sakura, is a flower of trees in the genus Prunus or the Prunus subgenus Cerasus. Wild species of the cherry tree are widely distributed, mainly in the Northern Hemisphere. They are common in East Asia, especially in Japan. They generally refer to ornamental cherry trees, not cherry trees grown for their fruit. The cherry blossom is considered the national flower of Japan.
