Plum blossom
Plum blossoms are the delicate, fragrant flowers of the Prunus mume tree, native to East Asia. They typically bloom in late winter or early spring, often while snow is still on the ground, symbolizing resilience and hope. The blossoms have five petals and come in shades of white, pink, or red. In art and culture, they’re admired for their beauty and endurance, representing perseverance amid adversity. Their early bloom signals the coming of spring and new beginnings, making them a cherished emblem of renewal and strength in many Asian traditions.
