"Yesterday the branches were bare, today they are in full bloom" just like the cherry blossoms. A few days ago I saw some dry cherry tree in the garden in front of several houses on the way from home to the market at the beginning of gray ice frost winter.
At the end of winter, small pink flowers suddenly bloom on dry branches and light up the surroundings. Going on the way, it seems that there were no flowers on the trees yesterday!
Not a single part of the dried tree is left, covered with pink flowers. Only one cherry tree is enough to lights up the garden. It seems that the winter has mistakenly scattered snow flakes on the dry branches of the cherry tree. As pass by, a mild aroma hits your nose, and you notice the busy flight of excited foraging bees.
Different varieties of cherry fruit produce different colored flowers. Not all types of cherries are edible, but wild cherry trees bear beautiful purple, pink or white flowers. It changes the appearance of the place. At that time, a magical bright beauty covers the surroundings.
Therefore, they plant those cherry trees on both sides of the road which cannot be eaten. The structure of this flower is very soft and tender, the petals of this flower fall off easily within a few days. So, when spring comes, people here walk on the dream path strewn with white and pink cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms have a very short shelf life, within a few days the green leaves develop and the cherry fruits fall in bunches.
When the cherry trees bear fruit, the market is flooded with fresh red cherries.
The flowers are still there, maybe 1 more week and then the leaves will grow.
As beautiful as cherry blossoms are to look at, they also have many virtues. This flower prevents aging of the skin, does not allow spots to appear. There are also multiple features.
It is said that the beauty of Japanese skin is hidden in this flower.
From shampoos, shower gels, creams, conditioners, face washes to body mists – cherry blossoms are all the rage these days. And the main reason behind this is the women of that country. Japanese women's beautiful blemish-free smooth skin, sleek black hair catches everyone's attention. Cherry blossoms have been used in Japan for beauty treatments since ancient times. The secret of their beauty is hidden in this cherry blossom, but it is known from Japanese fairy tales.
Cherry blossoms are rich in antioxidants. Which helps to keep the skin smooth. Removes harmful waste products from the skin. This results in better oxygen supply to the skin cells. Cherry blossoms remove excess toxins from the skin. It also increases the synthesis of collagen. Which makes the skin smooth, prevents wrinkles. It also protects the skin from becoming sensitized and rough.
Also, cherry blossoms are more valued, due to which the demand for cherry blossoms is increasing all over the world.
Personally, I like cherry blossoms very much. Even if you are under the tree all day, you will not get bored.
