A Faerie Powder Puff
Yes, spring is in the air again, hopefully as a sign that winter in Melbourne really is finally retreating. The day I took this photo, it was cool in the morning, but a glorious and sunny afternoon with beautiful blue skies eventuated when I went for a stroll. On my walk, I walked past a wonderful Japanese cherry blossom covered in clusters of wonderful pink blossoms which reminded me of powder puffs. Perhaps they are powder puffs for faeries?
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.
