Cherry Blossoms in December

Oh those whispy clouds of pink and red, delicately adorning slender branches.  Cherry Blossoms are the national flower of Japan.  While on a tour of the gardens at the Imperial Palace, I was surprised to find Cherry Blossoms in full bloom in December.

The pink blossomed variety.
The red blossomed variety.

So beautiful!
