Cherry blossom

A cherry blossom, also known as a Japanese cherry or sakura, is a flower of many trees of the genus Prunus or Prunus subgenus. Cerasus. Wild species of the cherry tree are widely distributed, mainly in the Northern Hemisphere. They are common in East Asia, including China, Korea and especially in Japan. They generally refer to ornamental cherry trees, and not cherry trees that produce fruit for eating. The cherry blossom is considered the national flower of Japan.In Europe, from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, Collingwood Ingram, an Englishman, collected and studied Japanese cherry blossoms, and created various ornamental cultivars, and the culture of cherry blossom viewing began to be spread. In the United States, cherry blossom viewing began to spread after Japan presented cherry blossoms as a token of friendship in 1912. Cherry blossoms have been described to have a beautiful smell and have been the inspiration for many candles and incense for household use.
