Cherry Blossom

Sent by Maika, a postcrosser from Japan. This postcard shows a flower called Cherry Blossom.

This is from Wikipedia : A cherry blossom is the name for the flower of cherry trees known as Sakura (Japanese kanji : 桜 or 櫻; hiragana: さくら) in Japanese. In English, the word "sakura" is equivalent to the Japanese flowering cherry. Cherry fruit (known in Japanese as sakuranbo) comes from another species of tree.
