The plum blossom has been an important symbol in Chinese culture. As a “friend of winter,” the plum blossom most vividly represents the value of endurance, as life ultimately overcomes through the vicissitude of time. The fragrance of plum blossoms “comes from the bitterness and coldness,” as the Chinese saying goes. Souls are tempered in the depth of experience, growing in inner strength and unyielding courage.
Unity of culture and nature has been an important part of the Chinese tradition, and elements of nature embody important cultural values. The plum, together with the orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum, have been named the “four nobles” of plants by the ancient Chinese, each because of its noble characteristics, such as purity (orchid), uprightness (bamboo), and humility (chrysanthemum).

Gary bought this plant without any blooms on it for 50¢. Didn't know anything about how to grow this type of plant, but he seems to have a green thumb and just does what it needs, intuitively. And the violet rewards him with it's lovely delicate ruffled pink blooms.
It amazes me.
It is still early Spring and the fountains and cascades still haven't been started, but a couple of Cherry trees are starting to bloom.
