Beautiful...just beautiful
Like in a fairy tale!
Plum trees? I'm pretty sure Japan is known for its spring cherry blossoms. During my six and a half years in Yokosuka, I remember seeing many cherry blossoms, but no plum blossoms.
They're plums (though technically a relative of the apricot) prunus mume or Ume in Japanese and they are *almost* as popular as Sakura. They bloom earlier than Sakura, tending to begin in February and smell much better imo.
I'm sure you saw many Ume trees Vincent Jay, the flowers are quite similar to Sakura, its mainly the shape of the petals and the way the flowers attach to the trees that distinguishes the two, they share color palates and general shapes.
but these trees don't look like sakura, so i beleive it plum) well, japan also is known by almond trees, but people think it's sakura also
