While the Japanese called this flower the Sakura, you likely know it as the Cherry blossom.
In Japan, there is a festival dedicated to ‘Hanami’ - which literally means ‘watching bossoms’, watching the falling of the Sakura flowers. The tradition can be traced back for centuries. During the festival, people gathered for picnics, or just to watch the ‘Sakura snow’. Viewing spots are crowded with people enjoying the blossoms in a beautiful, romantic atmosphere.
Sakura trees bloom starting from late March, but it can also vary regionally. The average cherry blossom flower lasts four to ten days, but that depends on the weather. If it’s cool when the flowers bloom, they will last longer. The entire flowering period lasts approximately 10 to 18 days.
The sakura season is also a tourists season. Many tourists go to Japan to partake the experience of watching the ‘Sakura snow’.
These pictures of the Cherry blossoms were taken during an exhibition early this year in Singapore at the Flower Dome of the Gardens by the Bay – before Covid-19 kept us on lockdown.
