Blossom and Broom

Cherry blossom to be precise. Gorgeous beautiful blossom.

Full of meaning in Japan and China. Gentleness, kindness and feminine beauty.

I adore its soft pink blooms next to the sturdy deep glossy twig. Beautiful in an old cut glass vase. I’m hoping mine will root and perhaps with a little nurture I can place it out in the garden.

I am new to broom. Before now I have never seen its appeal and I’m happy to admit for the past 5 years I have missed out. Those tiny flowers house a beautiful soft fragrance.

Spring is all about fragrance, don’t you think?
