Has this winter unusually been cold in Japan, as I suspected?
Last year, I wrote about 梅花 in my blog on Feb. 21st. At that time I uploaded a picture of 梅花 in full bloom and said they had began to unfold around Feb. 10th. But this year, I saw first two or three flowers on the tree this morning. The time of bloom is almost two weeks later than last year.
Although having said that, spring is surely approaching my house. 🙂
