A flowering cherry tree provides a beautiful burst of pink—a welcome sight after the drab, grey days of winter. These delicate blossoms draw a crowd as soon as they appear, for the blossom season is famously short. And even as the petals fall to the ground, this magical springtime experience leads to renewed appreciation for nature's more colourful side, just as a new growing season begins.
