Do you love nature?<\/strong> Regardless, there are places in the world of nature that cut through the divide in terms of opinions.<\/p>\n Well, in case you didn\u2019t know, cherry blossom is simply formed out of a combination of beautiful flowers<\/a> of several trees of the genus Prunus <\/em>\u2013 mainly the Japanese Cherry which is also called sakura<\/em>.<\/p>\n The blossoming begins in January and ends at the end of March or at the beginning of April. The blossom will usually move north in what’s known as ‘sakura zensen<\/a>‘<\/em>.<\/p>\n The people of Japan pay close attention to this period that they have invested a lot to the Metrological Agency to forecast the season.<\/p>\n Then, when the long-awaited magical season comes<\/strong>, it\u2019s time to turn out in large numbers at parks and shrines where these trees are found, to experience nature<\/a> at its best.\u00a0Of course, it is also a chance to have fun together e.g. by holding flower viewing parties and who does not fancy such a chance?<\/p>\n The festival is called the \u2018Hanami Festival\u2019<\/strong> that is aimed at celebrating the beauty of the cherry blossom and to also give the people a chance to relax and enjoy the beauty that the cherry brings.<\/p>\n The festival is also held to commemorate the 1912 gift of 3000 cherries from the mayor of Tokyo to the city of Washington DC and to also honor the friendship between US and Japan.<\/p>\n During the recent season, the National Geographic invited the community to send in their photographs of the cherry blossom and a lot of amazing pictures were received.<\/p>\n Here, we have compiled the best of the best!
