Ume(Japanese apricot) are still in full bloom in the Nara Park. Or it is passing the best time to view Ume blossoms.
You can enjoy beautiful Ume blossoms around here.
As Ume are the first trees of the year to bloom, they are considered as the first sign of the end of winter. Also Ume are loved as one of three lucky trees along with pine trees and bamboo trees.
After Ume blossoms are over, soon news people will start reporting on the cherry blossom front.
