Japanese Plum Blossoms

Here in Japan things actually grow and bloom in the middle of winter. These photos were taken on February 9th, 2020. It’s the coldest time of the year here - frequently zero degrees or lower - and these trees suddenly burst into bloom.

I also love cherry blossoms, but to me there is something extra special about plum blossoms since they arrive exactly when it’s the coldest and dreariest time of the year.
