Sakura for Springtime

I hear that the Sakura or Cherry Blossom flowers are just beginning to bloom in Japan. They indicate the beginning of spring and as it is just turning warmer here I thought it would be a good time to show some of my Sakura collection.

The Cherry blossom is an omen of good fortune and is also an emblem of love, affection and springtime. Cherry blossoms are also an enduring metaphor for the fleeting nature of life.

I love the simplicity of the flower with its five double pointed petals and its delicate stamens.
