Plum blossoms are among my favorites. In the dreary cold of winter, they push their way into world bringing vibrance and color to a pallid landscape. They are the flowers of poetry in Japan and China. Although, cherry blossoms, the harbingers of spring, are graceful and elegant, it is their abundance that demand attention. Plum blossoms brighten the day in understated, unassuming way. Take a moment to look around and appreciate the understated and unassuming beauty surrounding you.
