Spring means hope, it concludes the end of a very long winter and this year was no exceptions. I had a very rough day and I was blessed to be in this place on a day like this to see these wonderful flowers. Here is some info on these flowers. A cherry blossom is the flower of any of several trees of genus Prunus, particularly the Japanese Cherry, Prunus serrulata, which is sometimes called sakura after the Japanese (桜 or 櫻; さくら).[1][2] Many of the varieties that have been cultivated for ornamental use do not produce fruit. Edible cherries generally come from cultivars of the related species Prunus avium and Prunus cerasus.
