Timelapse: Watch Sakura/Cherry Blossoms Bloom 

Watch Sakura / Cherry Blossoms bloom before your eyes.
Cherry blossoms, known as "Sakura" (桜) in Japanese, are iconic symbols of beauty, renewal, and the fleeting nature of life. These delicate and ephemeral flowers are predominantly associated with Japan but are also celebrated in various cultures around the world.
Cherry blossom trees belong to the genus Prunus, and there are several species and cultivars within this genus that produce cherry blossoms. The most famous and revered species is Prunus serrulata, commonly known as Japanese cherry, or sakura. Other species, such as Prunus avium (wild cherry) and Prunus subhirtella, also produce beautiful cherry blossoms.
The blooming of cherry blossoms marks the arrival of spring in Japan, typically occurring from late March to early May, depending on the region and weather conditions. The cherry blossom season is eagerly anticipated and celebrated with hanami, the traditional Japanese custom of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers, particularly cherry blossoms. During hanami season, people gather with friends and family in parks, gardens, and along riverbanks to picnic, socialize, and admire the breathtaking display of cherry blossoms in full bloom.
