Blossom - March 2023

I thought I would share a couple of very old blossom related  haiku with you before the photographs:

They blossom, and then

We gaze, and then the blooms

Scatter, and then ....

The cherry-bloom has gone -

A temple, in among the trees,

Is what it has become

Kate - neither of my cherry blossom trees are in blossom yet so I went foraging in my garden and improvised!

Having just come back from a trip to RHS Wisley, I can recommend a visit to see, among many other things, their cherry trees in blossom.  

Here are a few of the photos I took, followed by a link to the Wisley site where it gives more detail about their current display of cherry blossom:

.... and here is the promised link to their website (it might take a few seconds to load):

Cherry Blossom at RHS Wisley at the moment

.... and that is all from you for this month!
