Aku letak Cherry Blossom Forecast untuk rujukan pada sesiapa yang nak melawat Jepun cuti sekolah nanti atau awal bulan 4. Aku rindu Jepun sangat-sangat. Alangkah bestnya kalau aku dapat jengah ke sana lagi tengok Cherry Blossom. Subhanallah, cantiknya..

Tak lupa juga kiriman gambar dari Has. Katanya Ume dah start keluar. Apa itu Ume? Bunga ni lebih kurang sakura tapi kecil sikit. Bunga ume akan keluar dahulu sebelum tibanya musim sakura. Ada juga beberapa warna tapi yang biasa warna pink kuat dan putih. Has ambil gambar-gambar ni di Tsurumi Ryokuchi park kat rumah dia di Osaka. Taman ni memang cantik sangat.

Ume bewarna light pink

Ume bewarna pink kuat

Prunus mume is an Asian tree species classified in the Armeniaca section of the genus Prunus. Its common names include Chinese plum and Japanese apricot. The flower is usually called plum blossom. This distinct tree species is related to both the plum and apricot trees. Although generally referred to as a plum in English, it is more closely related to the apricot.
The fruit of the tree is used in Chinese, Japanese and Korean cooking in juices, as a flavoring for alcohol, as a pickle and in sauces. It is also used in traditional medicine.
The tree's flowering in late winter and early spring is highly regarded as a seasonal symbol. - sumber en.wikipedia
