Cherry Blossoms #SaturdaySnapshot

Cherry blossoms, in China and in the US, are a favorite flower for marking spring. Here’s a photo of a flowering cherry I took at the Missouri Botanical Garden a few years ago:

And, here’s a photo I took of the Cherry Tree Arches at the Lantern Festival last month:

Last week, I posted photos of peonies in the Lantern Festival. I have more glowing flowers to share next week! The Lantern Festival continues at the Missouri Botanical Garden through August 23, open nightly and with extended hours some nights.

Beautiful — both the actual cherry blossom and the Lantern Festival version. The festival looks like it would be fun to attend.

I love cherry blossoms! We have loads of cherry trees her (the town I grew up in, which is about 40 miles south of where I live now, is known as “The Cherry City”) and the blossoms are the official harbinger spring.
