Flowers and Vintage Flickr Group - Cherry Blossoms

Soon very soon the cherry trees and some other trees will start to blossom and it's something that a lot of us are looking forward to.

Most of us will enjoy the blossoms on the bare tree branches and even if we had a flowering cherry tree in our garden we would be quite reluctant to cut branches from it. The shape of the tree would be altered and it would take a long time to grow back.

If you are lucky to have trees that you can cut a few branches from or if you can buy already cut branches - enjoy them while they last. You don't need many  - even just one branch looks wonderful. Or a few short branches in a little bud vase is perfect.   

In Japan there is a very old tradition to have a pick-nick and drink sake under cherry blossom trees while they are in flower.

Yes, I know this is not cherry blossoms - but I liked the forsythia in the vintage glass bottle and the retro feel to the image.
