Plum blossoms herald the start of spring. They usually appear at the beginning of February. January 10th is too early.
The scent of ume flowers is intoxicating and each variety is different–fruity, spicy, heavily floral.
The colors of these buds charmed me with their old-fashioned combination of brown toned colors
Vivid plum blossoms against a blue sky lift our spirits out of the winter doldrums.
