The cherry blossoms in Japan typically bloom around late March or early April and marks the onset of spring. White or pale pink, sometimes dark pink or yellow, and sometimes changing color as the season progresses, they symbolise the delicate and ephemeral nature of life.

Lillies in Alabama
Alabama’s most fragrant natural wonder, The Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge protects the largest stand of Cahaba lilies in the world at Hargrove Shoals. These unique plants require sunlight, swift-moving water, and seasonal flooding to survive.
King Protea: South Africa
The coastlines of Cape Town are among the most picturesque in the world, becoming even more photogenic the closer you get to Table Mountain. The slopes of the iconic mountain contain several thousand species of plants, but its the king protea that seems to reign the floral kingdom most proudly.

Join the #WisteriaHysteria and head to Sexby Gardens in Peckham Rye Park where you can walk under wisteria-covered pergolas. The main park itself might be somewhat uninspiring, but the lovingly well-kept garden that dates back to 1906 offers a cheering myriad of tulips and wisteria.
