Sakura 桜

In our garden, the blossom of the cherry covers the entire tree in such a rich profusion, some of the branches elegantly bending towards the ground with the weight of the dusky pink flowers and scattering a shower of these petals - reminiscent of a gentle fall of snow - as they are splashed with sunlight.

The season of the cherry blossom tree is short-lived and what will soon remain is a soft carpet of scattered petals. The scent of the sakura is so faint and when crushing the leaves, they release a green and bitter fragrance. I am captivated by the trees billowy petals and am inspired to create a soft petaled pink rose cream which reflects the trees rosy blossoms.
