Plum orchard in Odawara, Japan

February is the season of plum blossom in Odawara, Japan.

I went to see plum tree at Soga Bairin (Plum orchard in Soga, Odawara) last Sunday. Weather was not so nice, but photo turned out well!!



Plum started blooming end of the January this year. It's amazing we still can enjoy this view. Plum flower last much longer than Sakura.

This pink plum tree called "Shidare-ume".

Pink is so pretty!!
It's hard to tell the difference from Sakura, isn't it?
