Yuki Yanagi or Snow Willow

Posted by Celialee (Kyoto, Japan) on 8 April 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

These delicate blossoms are called "yuki yanagi" or "snow willow". When in full bloom, they resemble snow.

Sorry for the wrong info; I had to change the title of this picture since it was not of the sakura flower. Thank you for your lovely comments :)
