Mount Ogusu Plum Blossoms

Pink colors galore

Situated at the top of Miura's Mount Ogusu is a flower garden and large plum orchard which, for most of the year, has a some really pretty flowers. However, during early spring this area is transformed into a beautiful array of rich pink colors as countless plum blossoms come into bloom.

Often confused with cherry blossoms, plum blossoms usually bloom several weeks earlier and (depending on the species), are slightly richer in color. By sheer chance I was fortunate enough to witness these beautiful flowers in bloom providing some much needed color on an overcast day!
