[Setagaya] Greenway Walk – Plum Blossoms Floating in the Night 2025 –

世田谷区 梅の花 BLOG

 The plum blossoms were magnificent again this year along the greenway. The daytime appearance is beautiful, but at night, the sight of the plums radiating the spirit of spring under the streetlights is enchanting and even more captivating.
 

 The photo shows plum blossoms before being wet with snow on a certain day in March. As I approached the plum trees, a rich fragrance filled the air, which was astonishing.
 Every year, I enjoy these plum blossoms, imagining the streetlights as the moon.

 Unfortunately, it snowed after I took the photo, and the flowers got wet and wilted, but still, when I passed by at night, the scent of the plum blossoms filled the darkness and was very soothing. I feel that the scent of plum is similar to that of roses.

 Even with the same plum tree, the way it is pruned and the climate of that year can cause it to bloom somewhat differently. To my eyes, it doesn’t have the same vigor as the year before last, but it seems more lively than last year.

 I am looking forward to seeing what kind of appearance the plum will show next year.
