#plum blossoms
Handy reference chart showing the difference between blossoms (ume/plum, momo/peach, sakura/cherry, anzu/apricot, ringo/apple). Note the colors, how the buds sit on branches, and of course petals shapes.
Apricot and apple are veeeery rare as kimono/obi patterns. Morover, what I usually simply call “plum” (ume) is in exactly the Prunus mume (or Japanese apricot/plum) and come with red/white/pinkish flowers.
Apricot and Plum seems very hard to differentiate…

Quiet atmosphere for this outfit, featuring a muted kimono with scattered yukiwa (snowflakes), paired with this fantastic tsumugi (raw silk) obi depicting a hanako (flower basket) with various all seasons plants (ginkgo, maple, plum, paulownia, chrysanthemum, etc)

Went out for a walk. The plum blossoms looked so pretty - plus I had the chance to try Tera Coffee’s delicious latte while going back home…

真言宗御室派 棡山（ゆずりさん）明通寺（みょうつうじ）
花が活けられている手水舎は初めて見ました。本堂では丁寧にお寺について説明していただけます。
この時期、若狭梅が特産のこの地域には多くの梅、特に白梅がいたるところに咲いていました。
