Aberdare in Blossom
April 27, 2006
Today we found a ‘fragrant hotspot’ ready to blossom near Rock Grounds.
It looks like a Japanese Flowering Cherry (Prunus serrulata). In Japan this tree is called Sakura and only blooms for a few brief days. The Japanese go to parks, shrines and temples and hold flower viewing parties known as hanami. Hanami festivals celebrate the beauty of sakura, and for many, it is a chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful view.
We in the Valleys take our beautiful parks and countryside for granted. The trees that help our planet breathe and the natural landscape which helps sustain us are laid waste by developers.
Why not discover your own local beauty hotspot today ?
