Weeping Plum Tree in Full Bloom This soft and ethereal photograph captures a magnificent weeping plum tree (shidare-ume) in full bloom, showcasing the delicate beauty of early spring in Japan. The ancient, gnarled trunk of the tree curves gracefully through the center of the frame, its dark, textured bark providing a strong contrast to the dense explosion of color surrounding it. Countless cascading branches draped in vibrant pink blossoms flow downward, creating a "radiant" and immersive canopy that almost entirely fills the composition. The blossoms are rendered in various shades of soft pink and magenta, with the sunlight filtering through the petals to create a luminous, dreamlike effect. The shallow depth of field softly blurs the foreground and background, making the central tree appear as if it is enveloped in a mist of flowers. This species (Prunus mume) typically blooms from late February to mid-March, offering a serene and "luminous" precursor to the later cherry blossom season.

Weeping plum blossoms, specifically a variety known as shidare ume, in Japan. While often mistaken for cherry blossoms (sakura), these plum blossoms are a distinct species (Prunus mume) that typically bloom earlier, from late February to mid-March. Hosa Photo

🍏Japanese Quince (木瓜)-
These blossoms are far easier to tell apart, as they look a little like camellia flowers in miniature (and tend to come in darker pinks).

🌰Almond (アーモンド)-
The flowers are very similar to sakura, but petals darken towards centre (they have a jasmine like aroma).

Only the leaves are gently stirred
By the soft breathing of the gale,
And in the almond-scented vale
The lonely nightingale is heard.
-Oscar Wilde.

Sakura blossoms.

There are also less common green and yellow varieties of sakura blossoms.

Sakura mochi, a sticky rice cake wrapped in a sweet and salty sakura leaf.

Fugen-zakura are so named because the long stamens are likened to elephant tusk (the Bodhisattva Fugen rides a white elephant).

🌸Sakura (桜):
Individual flowers grow from longer stems, generally in clusters. The oval petals typically have an indent at the tip.

Già

Che piaga questi qua.

Io ci spero da un po'.

Per concludere in bellezza questo bel sabato, mi sono fermata alla pasticceria napoletana a prendere due babà, e mi sa tanto che cenerò con quelli 🤤

Caruccio 🥰

Dev'essere il nuovo trend, ce ne sono anche uno a Prato e uno a Pisa molto simili con ambientazione, anche se con nomi diversi.

Peccato 😰

No, questo regge bene per fortuna 😂😂😂
