My team were asking me what was a similar sign of spring in the UK to sakura in Japan. I had to explain that cherry blossom does also exist in the UK - and then went on to talk about bulbs - daffodils, bluebells, snowdrops etc.
Next day after seeing these, driving to work in glorious spring sunshine, and suddenly all of the cherry blossom which was mostly buds last week was simultaneously in full bloom. Beautiful! Now its all falling down all over the place like snow due to typically april wind and rain, but at least for one moment it was perfect!
