Konichiwa こんにちは~!!

I have joined Hifsa's lovely world of Sakura blossoms and I thought of sharing my (limited) knowledge on the Sakura flower with you all~♥♥♥

This flower is commonly known as Sakura (in Japanese) or Cherry Blossom (in English).

It is the national flower of Japan and it blooms during early or late April.
Sakura trees are related to a plum, peach or apricot tree.

The Sakura is a beautiful blossom of a tree which bear no leaves. It is a magnificent flower and has many different meanings. It s a symbol used for wome, life and, weirdly enough, death. This flower is also a symbol for the bond between humans, courage, sadness and happiness.

There is a myth concerning these flowers. Some people believe that the pink tint, in the Sakura blossom's usually white petals, is blood. They say that the more blood the Sakura tree's roots suck up the pinker the blossoms will be. So, be careful! The amazing hot pink Sakura tree you're sitting under might be planted on a former graveyard! But, of course, this is merely a superstition and it is your choice to believe it or not.

Well, that's all I have to share with you today! i don't want it to get boring so Sayonara さようなら~!!
