These photos were taken in Portsmouth, UK when there were a lot of cherry blossom trees in my library.
Sakura is also called “cherry blossom” in English. It is known as national flower of Japan. There are many kinds of sakura which are natural or created by cross-breeding to provide the most beautiful flower for people who want to enjoy seeing sakura. There are three main colours of sakura, red, pink and white. The duration of sakura’s life is 5 to 15 days, but the average time is 1 week.
