Spring flowers. Wild cherry plum.

Wild cherry plum May starts blossoming in Chine earlier than all other trees. It opens flowers while the snow is still there and is not afraid of frost, announcing that spring is coming. 
The image of this blossoming tree is full of senses and implications. It is a symbol of nobility and resilience no matter what the circumstances are.
Old branches of this tree resemble the body of dragon, which is considered to be strong and wise. Also old stalk with young branches mean the consequence of generations and support among them.
But in China there are many more other blossoming trees and plants, as you can see in the video above.
