cherry blossoms
Spring tree flowers
Cherry blossoms are the flowers of cherry trees, especially ornamental varieties prized for their brief, spectacular bloom.
The phrase evokes Japanese culture, where cherry blossom season (hanami) is celebrated with festivals and viewing parties.
The flowers symbolize the transience of life—beautiful but fleeting: The cherry blossoms lasted only a week before the petals fell.
