Cherry blossom tree is
found everywhere blooming in March and April, the onset of spring in Luxembourg.
It is too windy and rainy here; the delicate and beautiful flowers do not stay
for long. If you happen to sit under a cherry blossom tree and a whiff of air
drifts by the flowers come down as shower of blessings.
As a child, Cherry
Blossom for me was shoe polish because of the daily drill for twelve long years
one needs to do while attending school. I was awe stuck by trees with beautiful
pink and white blossoms, once I arrived in US of A and later came to know it is
cherry blossom tree, the national tree of Japan.
In Europe and
Luxembourg in particular there is ample flora but little fauna. So in this
series I will contribute flowers, plants and trees which I come across. Few I
recognize and relate to; rest I research and make it a point to at least
find the name. The trees here are mostly found in higher altitudes of Indian
Himalayas, my native place so I recognize few of them but not all.
