A cherry blossom is the flower of any of several trees of genus Prunus, particularly the Japanese cherry, Prunus serrulata, which is called sakura after the Japanese (桜 or 櫻; さくら).
Cherry blossom is speculated to be native to the Himalayas. Currently it is widely distributed, especially in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere including Europe, West Siberia, India, China, Japan, Korea, Canada, and the United States. The cherry blossom is considered the national flower of Japan.
Many of the varieties that have been cultivated for ornamental use do not produce fruit. Edible cherries generally come from cultivars of the related species Prunus avium and Prunus cerasus. Cherry blossom are also closely related to other Prunus trees such as the almond, peach, plum and apricot and more distantly to apples, pears and roses.
"Hanami" is the centuries-old practice of picnicking under a blooming sakura or ume tree. The custom is said to have started during the Nara Period (710–794) when it was ume blossoms that people admired in the beginning. But by the Heian Period (794–1185), cherry blossoms came to attract more attention and hanami was synonymous with sakura. From then on, in both waka and haiku, "flowers" (花, hana) meant "cherry blossoms". The custom was originally limited to the elite of the Imperial Court, but soon spread to samurai society and, by the Edo period, to the common people as well. Tokugawa Yoshimune planted areas of cherry blossom trees to encourage this. Under the sakura trees, people had lunch and drank sake in cheerful feasts.
Cherry blossom or Sakura is the blossom of cherry trees, genus Prunus.
Cherry blossom or Cherry blossoms may also refer to:
The Japanese rock garden (枯山水, karesansui) or "dry landscape" garden, often called a zen garden, creates a miniature stylized landscape through carefully composed arrangements of rocks, water features, moss, pruned trees and bushes, and uses gravel or sand that is raked to represent ripples in water. A zen garden is usually relatively small, surrounded by a wall, and is usually meant to be seen while seated from a single viewpoint outside the garden, such as the porch of the hojo, the residence of the chief monk of the temple or monastery. Classical zen gardens were created at temples of Zen Buddhism in Kyoto, Japan during the Muromachi Period. They were intended to imitate the intimate essence of nature, not its actual appearance, and to serve as an aid to meditation about the true meaning of life.
A cherry is the fruit of many plants of the genus Prunus, and is a fleshy drupe (stone fruit).
The cherry fruits of commerce usually are obtained from a limited number of species such as cultivars of the sweet cherry, Prunus avium. The name 'cherry' also refers to the cherry tree, and is sometimes applied to almonds and visually similar flowering trees in the genus Prunus, as in "ornamental cherry", "cherry blossom", etc. Wild Cherry may refer to any of the cherry species growing outside of cultivation, although Prunus avium is often referred to specifically by the name "wild cherry" in the British Isles.
Many cherries are members of the subgenus Cerasus, which is distinguished by having the flowers in small corymbs of several together (not singly, nor in racemes), and by having smooth fruit with only a weak groove along one side, or no groove. The subgenus is native to the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with two species in America, three in Europe, and the remainder in Asia. Other cherry fruits are members of subgenus Padus. Cherry trees with low exposure to light tend to have a bigger leaf size so they can intercept all light possible. Cherry trees with high exposure to light tend to have thicker leaves to concentrate light and have a higher photosynthetic capacity.

Plot: She hoards everything; art canvasses, dresses never to be worn, packaged foods in bags, pieces of mail in see-through plastic containers, memories too dear to let go, and even people. When a string of surreal deaths occur close to her, Chance's closet begins holding inhabitants, her house fills with balloons and her mind stretches to remote recesses of insanity. A singular image of a lone red balloon she held onto as a child for solace guides her through this rabbit hole. As that early balloon memory begins to multiply, the images in her head become as cluttered as a claustrophobic's worst nightmare. An approaching reunion brings Chance face to face with a memory of which she has yet to let go.

The simple beauty of a Zen Garden in Springtime, majestic flowering cherry trees fill the skies and reflect in the tranquil waters of a Japanese garden. Like a soft earth bound cloud, in infinite shades of red to pink, to white and everything in between, cherry blossoms are nature's sonnet to the earth, the simple delicate manifestation of a single blossom, a signature love note from Spring. Reborn. Rebirth. And relaxing. For centuries the arrival of cherry blossoms (Sakura) in Japan signaled hope, rebirth and the ephemeral nature of life, an aspect of Buddhist influence. Associated with Samurai and Japanese Tea Gardens, a special viewing of the cherry blossoms (hanami) was attended by philosophers, artists, and aristocrats. Cultivated for distinct character and subtle beauty, cherry tree...

Tying thoughts straight around your tongue
Celebrate in the heart song
Hope stream the swim nose bleeds
Foreseen your life's a street
Run more, dance your back
The most on... off that stops
No luck... the stars
Mantra, to seek the sparks
The cut, the book of...
Don't cleanse your morning light
At last turned this old...
The clouds are the wrong way now
The turned is one I held
