Here are some shots from our garden. Japan is now enjoying gentle and warm spring. The season is a blooming season of flowers. You can enjoy sweet smell when you walk on the street.
UME flowers in our garden is now having its best time with so many pretty flowers.
In June, we'll make UME liqueur to enjoy the UME fruits. Oh, and UMEBOSHI, sour ume pickles!! You need this to make a good Onigiri (triangled shape rice ball)!! I love spring. I feel so freshed and new!

Bonjour Natacha.

Spring is the best season to visit Japan!
Hi Renee.
Thanks!
Hi Mimie.
The smell is so gentle and sweet!
I know you miss this kinda thing.
Hi Madhatter.
Do you have this kind of tree in Germany, too?
Those pickls are really tasty!
You have to try it once!!
Hi Tasha.
Thank you :D
indeed i think you can plant it here, but i don´t know if it stands the hard winter?
i´ll have to watch for it in my local garden-shop.
my yard isn´t ready yet, half of it is still undone. maybe i should give it a try... :)
keep on photographing those lovely flowers!

Thanks for sharing those pictures! Those flowers are wonderful.
I remember, when i was in Indonesia (where my mom was born), walking outside and having that sweet smell of springflowers all around you.
I'm jealous, you have that sweetness right in your backyard!
I want to live in Japan! Your pictures make it seem TOO beautiful!
Hi Katrin.
I work for a German company in Tokyo and I visit our headquarters once in a while. I know how cold the winter is in Germany.
I guess Ume is strong enough, though.
I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying my photos of flowers.
:D
Hi ismoyo.
I've been to Indonesia more than 5 times so I know what you meant about walking around in the spring season.
The islands are so rich with beautiful flowers!!
Hi handmade girl.
Yes, you should vist Japan at least once!!
It's so much different from the US!
Wow! This are wonderful, so pretty!
You have great photos here! The florals are just beautiful. :)
Happy Spring to you!
Hi, wishing on clovers.
Glad to have you here, and thanks for your first comment.
I love springs, and I LOVE flowers.
Enjoy!
Hi Kathleen Marie.
When I was living in Lake Mary, FL, I missed Japanese spring so mcuh.
It's so beautiful here!!
Enjoy the beauty of spring!
Hi Jade - I found your blog through my friend Joyce. Very nice pictures and I looooove umeboshi. It's all I craved when I was pregnant and my sodium was probably through the roof!
Hi Anne.
Glad to have you here, and thanks for your visit via Joyce's.
Oh, you love Umeboshi?
It's quite a surprising to hear.
Most non-Japanese hate it as it's so sour!!
When I was a kid, I didn't like it at all.
But now I'm a big grown-up(!) and love it a lot!!
We'll make our own Umeboshi out of those beautiful Ume!!
I'll post when we're ready to make them!
Kumi! I MEANT Kumi. I got thrown off by your daughter's name Jade. :)
I can't wait to see how you make the umeboshi. I know what you mean, I think I am the only non-Japanese person I know that likes them.
Hi Anne.
Don't worry about the name thing!
Sure, I'll post how to make Umeboshi and Ume-shu!!
It'll be in June/July!
