blossom viewing
Springtime floral contemplation
Blossom viewing is the practice of gathering outdoors to appreciate flowering trees, especially cherry blossoms.
The tradition is most associated with Japan, where *hanami* (flower viewing) draws crowds to parks each spring for picnics beneath the pink canopy.
We packed a lunch and went blossom viewing in the botanical garden.
